Description
Noggin | 90256-2 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Cytokine
Application: Useful for cell culture and for the study of signaling and developmental pathways. Also useful for receptor binding studies, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
Background: Noggin is one of a group of proteins that act as secreted antagonists of BMP activity. BMPs are essential for osteogenesis and organogenesis during embryonic development, and also play a role in tissue healing in adults. Noggin inhibits BMP activity by binding to them with high affinity, blocking their ability to bind to their receptor.
Description: Human Noggin, also known as symphalangism 1 (SYM1) or synostoses (multiple) syndrome 1 (SYNS1), GenBank Accession No. NM_005450, a.a. 28-232(end), disulfide-linked homodimer. MW=~28kDa (monomer). Source: human 293 cells. Endotoxin Level: <1 EU/µg. Biological Activity: measured by Noggin's ability to inhibit BMP-4-induced alkaline phosphatase production by C2C12 mouse myoblast cells. The ED50 is < 20 ng/ml in the presence of 30 ng/ml of human BMP-4. Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µM filtered, aqueous solution. Reconstitution: Supplied as a lyophilized solid. Reconstitute in sterile water with 0.1% BSA to a final concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. Final formulation will be 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 1.2 M NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.1% BSA.
