Purity:

>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin:

Less than 1EU/μg of rMuGMF-β as determined by LAL method.

Formulation:

Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Background:

Glia maturation factor beta(GMF-β) coded by GMFb gene at chromosome 14 in mouse, is identical to human GMF-β, with the exception of two amino acid residues. It is a brain-specific protein that belongs to the actin-binding proteins (ADF) structural family, and plays an important role in the upstream regulation of excessive production and the releasing of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines in brain cells, leading to the destruction of oligodendrocytes, the myelin forming cells, and neurons.

Usage:

This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.

Physical Appearance:

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Storage:

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
