Introduction
Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL7) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is a protein that is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
NAP-2 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1×PBS, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NAP-2 in sterile 18M-cm H 2 O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized NAP-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL7 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Amino acid
IELRCRCTNT LSGIPLNSIS RVNVFRPGAH CDNVEVIATL KNGKEVCLDP TAPMIKKIVK KI.
Usage
Mabioway's Co., Ltd products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
Biological Activity
Measured by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with human CXCR2. The ED 50 for this effect is less than 10ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000units/mg.
