Description
GDF11 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated homodimer containing 2x109 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 24.9kDa.
Synonyms
Growth Differentiation Factor 11, GDF-11, Bone Morphogenetic Protein 11, BMP11.
Introduction
GDF-11 belongs to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF-11 is a central developmental factor which controls muscular and neural development. In adults, GDF-11 encourages cardiac hypertrophy reverse by the revival of cardiomyocytes.
Biological Activity
The ED 50 as determined by the ability to inhibit alkaline phosphatase activity in ATDC5 cells, is 0.2-0.3ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5 x 10 6 units/mg.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA).
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GDF11 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized GDF11 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GDF11 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 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
