Human/Cynomolgus/Mouse/Rat GDF-8 Protein (GDF-HM008) Summary
Product Description |
Recombinant Human/Cynomolgus/Mouse/Rat GDF-8 Protein is expressed from HEK293 without tag.It contains Asp267-Ser375 (Human/Cynomolgus) / Asp268-Ser376 (Mouse/Rat). |
Product Background |
Growth/differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), or myostatin, negatively regulates muscle mass. GDF8 is held in a latent state through interactions with its N-terminal prodomain. GDF8, like numerous TGF-β family members, is a disulfidelinked dimer that is synthesized as a precursor protein which requires cleavage by a furin-like protease to yield an N-terminal prodomain and a C-terminal mature, signaling domain. |

Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in 4 mM HCL Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
Reconstitution |
Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 4 mM HCL. It is recommended to resuspend at 0.5 mg/mL if the lyophilized powder is 100 ug or less, at 1mg/ml for 500ug or 1mg lyophilized powder. Do not mix by vortex or vigorous shaking. It is recommended to resuspend at 0.5 mg/mL if the lyophilized powder is 100 ug or less, at 1mg/ml for 500ug or 1mg lyophilized powder.
