Recombinant Human Progastricsi

Progastricsin (Pepsinogen C), Pepsinogen C, EC 3.4.23.3, Pepsinogen Group II, Preprogastricsin, EC 3.4.23, Pepsin C, PGII, PEPC.

Progastricsin-C (PGC) is an aspartic proteinase which is synthesized in the gastric mucosa as inactive precursors. PGC is a part of the peptidase family A1 and contains a prosegment which is responsible for stabilizing the inactive form and preventing the entrance of the substrate to the active site. PGC is used as a biomarker for various gastric diseases including Helicobacter pylori related gastritis. PGC is also hydrolyzes various proteins.

PGC produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 380 amino acids (17-388 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 41.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa). 

Sf9, Baculovirus cells.

Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

PGC protein solution (0.25mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
