Description: Recombinant Human Osteoprotegerin Protein is produced by mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu22-Leu201 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus. Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4. Gene Symbol: TNFRSF11B Alternative Names: OCIF; OPG; Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B; Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor; OsteoprotegerinEntrez Gene (Human): 4982SwissProt (Human): O00300Purity : Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.Chemical Structure : ETFPPKYLHY DEETSHQLLC DKCPPGTYLK QHCTAKWKTV CAPCPDHYYT DSWHTSDECL YCSPVCKELQ YVKQECNRTH NRVCECKEGR YLEIEFCLKH RSCPPGFGVV QAGTPERNTV CKRCPDGFFS NETSSKAPCR KHTNCSVFGL LLTQKGNATH DNICSGNSES TQKCGIDVTL DIEGRMDPKS CDKTHTCPPC PAPELLGGPS VFLFPPKPKD TLMISRTPEV TCVVVDVSHE DPEVKFNWYV DGVEVHNAKT KPREEQYNST YRVVSVLTVL HQDWLNGKEY KCKVSNKALP APIEKTISKA KGQPREPQVY TLPPSRDELT KNQVSLTCLV KGFYPSDIAV EWESNGQPEN NYKTTPPVLD SDGSFFLYSK LTVDKSRWQQ GNVFSCSVMH EALHNHYTQK SLSLSPGK 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.
