Description
AHSG Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 372 amino acids (19-367 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 39.7kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear higher). AHSG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
PRO2743, A2HS, AHS, FETUA, HSGA, Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, Alpha-2-Z-globulin, Ba-alpha-2-glycoprotein, Fetuin-A.
Introduction
AHSG (fetuin-A) which is a glycoprotein present in the serum, is synthesized by hepatocytes. AHSG is one of the fetuin class of plasma binding proteins. It is involved in a number of functions, such as endocytosis, brain development and the formation of bone tissue. It is usually present in the cortical plate of the immature cerebral cortex and bone marrow hemopoietic matrix, hence it has been postulated that it participates in the development of the tissues. Yet, its exact significance is still vague. AHSG promotes endocytosis, hold opsonic properties and influences the mineral phase of the bone. Affinity for calcium and barium ions has been shown.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
AHSG protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 10% glycerol 0.1M NaCl and 1mM DTT.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
