sequence :
APFRSALESS PADPATLSED EARLLLAALV QDYVQMKASE LEQEQEREGS SLDSPRSKRC GNLSTCMLGT YTQDFNKFHT FPQTAIGVGA PGKKRDMSSD LERDHRPHVS MPQNAN.
purity :
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
form :
Lyophilized from 10mM Na2PO4 pH-7.5. Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized procalcitonin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution procalcitonin 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 procalcitonin sterile 18M Omega -cm H2O at 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Biological Activity: Human Procalcitonin was tested using Biomerieux reagents on the Min-Vidas. The assay was run at 80ng/ml with a recovery of 82 percent.

products description :
Description: Procalcitonin Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 116 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.8 kDa.The Procalcitonin is purified by standard chromatographic techniques. Introduction: Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock.
