Description
| Product Name: | Human EPO a Recombinant Protein |
| Product Code: | RPPB0189 |
| Size: | 10µg |
| Species: | Human |
| Target: | EPO a |
| Synonyms: | Erythropoietin-Alpha, EPO-a, EPO-alpha, Epoetin, EP, MGC138142. |
| Source: | HEK293 Cells |
| Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation: | The EPO-alpha was lyophilized from 1mg/ml in 1xPBS. |
| Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized EPO-alpha in sterile water not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability: | Lyophilized EPO-alpha although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution EPO-alpha 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% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE. |
| Biological Activity: | The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells (human erythroleukemic indicator cell line) and is typically 0.5-2.5ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 400,000-2,000,000 units/mg. |
This gene is a member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types.
EPO-a Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated monomer, having a total molecular weight of 36kDa.The EPO-alpha is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | EPO: Erythropoietin is the principal hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. Genetic variation in EPO is associated with susceptbility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 2 (MVCD2). These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Belongs to the EPO/TPO family. |
