Nerve Growth Factor 2.5S

Purified Mouse Nerve Growth Factor 2.5S has been used to demonstrate the importance of NGF in regulation of neuronal function through the up-regulation of the transcription factor NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells) via activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway (Kim et al. 2014).
Product Details
- Target Species
- Mouse
- Species Cross-Reactivity
-
Target Species Cross Reactivity Rat - N.B. Antibody reactivity and working conditions may vary between species.
- Product Form
- Purified natural murine nerve growth factor - lyophilized
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute with 1.0 ml distilled water. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.
- Preparation
- Murine nerve growth factor is prepared from the submaxillary glands of mice by sephadex and subsequent cellulose chromatography (Bocchini and Angeletti 1969).
- Buffer Solution
- Phosphate buffered saline
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Purity
- >98% by SDS PAGE
- Approx. Protein Concentrations
- 1.0mg/ml
- Protein Molecular Weight
- Approximately 30 kDa
Storage Information
- Storage
- Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC. Following reconstitution store at -20oC.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. - Guarantee
- 3 months from date of reconstitution
