purity :
Greater than 95.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
form :
GDF15 is lyophilized without additives. Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized GDF15 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution GDF15 should be stored at 4 degree C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 degree C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
other info2 :
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GDF15 in sterile 5mM AcOH (acetic Acid) at a concentration of 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Biological Activity: The biological activity was assessed by the inhibition of DU-145 cells and was found to be 1-2ug/ml.

products description :
Description: GDF15 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 2x113 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 24.5 kDa. The GDF15 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Introduction: GDF15 is part of the TGF-Beta superfamily that is involved in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in injured tissues and throughout disease processes. GDF15 is most abundant in the liver. Its expression in liver can be considerably up-regulated in during injury of organs such as liver, kidney, heart and lung. GDF-15 promotes proliferation or growth arrest and differentiation due to differences in cellular differentiation. GDF15 prevents apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons by activating Akt and inhibiting endogenously active ERK. GDF15 is a novel autocrine/endocrine factor that antagonizes the hypertrophic response and loss of ventricular performance.

ncbi summary :
Bone morphogenetic proteins (e.g., BMP9; MIM 605120) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (see TGFB1; MIM 190180) superfamily and regulate tissue differentiation and maintenance. They are synthesized as precursor molecules that are processed at a dibasic cleavage site to release C-terminal domains containing a characteristic motif of 7 conserved cysteines in the mature protein.[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
