Mouse GDF-5 Recombinant Protein Lyophilized from Innovative Research has been recombinantly produced in E. coli. This is a Lyophilized protein buffered in with a purity of Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses..

More Details:

• Species: Mouse
• Target: GDF5
• Purity: Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
• Source: E. coli
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized GDF-5 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted GDF-5 stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing GDF-5 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Additional Information:

GDF-5 is expressed in long bones during embryonic development and postnatally in articular cartilage. Mutations in the GDF-5 gene have been implicated in Grebe Syndrome, which is characterized by short stature, extra digits, short and deformed extremities, and in Hunter-Thompson type dwarfism. The mature and functional form of GDF-5 is a homodimer of two 120 amino-acid polypeptide chain (monomers) linked by a single disulfide bond. Each GDF-5 monomer is expressed as the C-terminal part of a precursor polypeptide, which also contains a 27 amino-acid signal peptide and a 348 amino-acid propeptide. This precursor undergoes intracellular dimerization, and upon secretion it is processed by a furin-type protease. Recombinant murine GDF-5 is a 27.0 kDa homodimeric disulfide-linked protein consisting of two 120 amino acids.
