Recombinant Human Thrombopoietin is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser22-Gly353 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus, 6His tag at the C-terminus.
Names
Thrombopoietin,C-mpl ligand,Megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor,Megakaryocyte growth and development factor,Myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene ligand,THPO
Accession #
P40225
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris,150mM NaCl,pH 8.0.
Shipping
The product is shipped at ambient temperature.
Reconstitution
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.
Storage
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 IEU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a glycoprotein hormone which belongs to the EPO/TPO family. It produced by the liver and kidney which regulates the production of platelets. TPO stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that bud off large numbers of platelets. Lineage-specific cytokine affects the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets.
