Description: Recombinant Human CTGF Protein is produced by mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu27-Ala180 is expressed. Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4. Gene Symbol: CTGF Alternative Names: CCN2; HCS24; IGFBP8; Connective tissue growth factor; CCN family member 2; Hypertrophic chondrocyte-specific protein 24; Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 8; IBP-8; IGF-binding protein 8; IGFBP-8Entrez Gene (Human): 1490SwissProt (Human): P29279Purity : Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.Chemical Structure : QNCSGPCRCP DEPAPRCPAG VSLVLDGCGC CRVCAKQLGE LCTERDPCDP HKGLFCDFGS PANRKIGVCT AKDGAPCIFG GTVYRSGESF QSSCKYQCTC LDGAVGCMPL CSMDVRLPSP DCPFPRRVKL PGKCCEEWVC DEPKDQTVVG PALA 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 ddH2O. 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.
