Description: Recombinant Human CHI3L1 Protein is produced by Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Tyr22-Thr383 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μM filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Gene Symbol: CHI3L1 Alternative Names: Chitinase-3-like protein 1; 39 kDa synovial protein; Cartilage glycoprotein 39; CGP-39; GP-39; hCGP-39; YKL-40Entrez Gene (Human): 1116SwissProt (Human): P36222Purity : Greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC and reducing SDS-PAGE.Chemical Structure : YKLVCYYTSW SQYREGDGSC FPDALDRFLC THIIYSFANI SNDHIDTWEW NDVTLYGMLN TLKNRNPNLK TLLSVGGWNF GSQRFSKIAS NTQSRRTFIK SVPPFLRTHG FDGLDLAWLY PGRRDKQHFT TLIKEMKAEF IKEAQPGKKQ LLLSAALSAG KVTIDSSYDI AKISQHLDFI SIMTYDFHGA WRGTTGHHSP LFRGQEDASP DRFSNTDYAV GYMLRLGAPA SKLVMGIPTF GRSFTLASSE TGVGAPISGP GIPGRFTKEA GTLAYYEICD FLRGATVHRI LGQQVPYATK GNQWVGYDDQ ESVKSKVQYL KDRQLAGAMV WALDLDDFQG SFCGQDLRFP LTNAIKDALA ATVDHHHHHH Directions for Use : Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 1X PBS. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.Quality Control : Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 IEU/μg) as determined by LAL test.Storage/Stability : Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.
