Follistatin Protein, Human, Re

蛋白长度：A DNA sequence encoding the human FST isoform FST344 (NP_037541.1) (Met 1-Trp 344) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

性质：

表达系统：HEK293 Cells

种属：Human

氨基酸序：Met1-Trp344

标签类型：C-hFc

分子量：The secreted recombinant human FST/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer consists of 556 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 61.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, rh FST/Fc monomer migrates as an approximately 70 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

活性：1. Measured by its ability to bind human INHBA-his in a functional ELISA. 2. Measured by its ability to bind mouse INHBA-his in a functional ELISA. 3. Measured by its ability to neutralize Activin-mediated inhibition on MPC11 cell proliferation. The EDfor this effect is typically 0.5-3 μg/mL in the presence of 10 ng/ml Recombinant Human ctivin A.

内毒素：< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

总结：Follistatin is a single-chain gonadal protein that specifically inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone release. The single FST gene encodes two isoforms, FST317 and FST344 containing 317 and 344 amino acids respectively, resulting from alternative splicing of the precursor mRNA. In a study in which 37 candidate genes were tested for linkage and association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hyperandrogenemia in 150 families, evidence was found for linkage between PCOS and follistatin. follistatin are expressed and subserve local regulatory roles in numerous extragonadal tissues, including brain, adrenal, bone marrow, and placenta but perhaps most notably in anterior pituitary-the classical target tissue for inhibin, the activin-follistatin system may play a key role in early embryogenesis. Follistatin binds directly to activin and functions as an activin antagonist. Specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone follistatin is a binding protein to activin. Since activin binds to follistatin, it is imperative to determine the nature of the activin/follistatin binding complex.

形式：Lyophilized

纯度：> 85 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

储存条件：In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

储存溶液：Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.
