Description
EPO Rat Recombinant produced in HEK293 cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain (27-192 a.a) containing 175 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 19.6 kDa. EPO is fused to a 6 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
Erythropoietin-Alpha, EPO-a, EPO-alpha, EP, MGC138142.
Introduction
Erythropoietin or EPO is a hormone (glycoprotein), part of the type I cytokine group of proteins. EPO is found mainly in the kidney tissue, produced from fibroblast-like cortical interstitial cells near the proximal tubules. EPO is also present in the blood, where it acts as red cell production regulator, by the promotion of differentiation of erythroid and thereby starts hemoglobin synthesis. Furthermore, EPO has neuroprotective activity towards brain injuries & anti-apoptotic activity in different tissues.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
EPO protein (1mg/ml) contains Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol.
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 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 range ≤ 2ng/ml.
