purity :
>96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
form :
Recombinant Neuregulin-4 was lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered 20mM PB, pH 6.0.
storage stability :
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
other info1 :
Domain: EGF. Host Note: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Neuregulin-4 EGF domain was expressed in Escherichia Coli. Biological Activity:: The ED(50) was determined by the phosphorylation of ErbB2 and ErbB4 receptors in CHO cells, and was found to be <3ng.ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 3x 10^5 Units/mg. Presentation: Recombinant Neuregulin-4 was lyophilized from a 0.2 f.lm filtered 20mM PB, pH 6.0.
other info2 :
Endotoxin: Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug). Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
products categories :
Cytokines
products description :
Neuregulins (NDF, heregulin, GGF ARIA, or SMDF) are EGF- like growth and differentiation factors that signal through tyrosine kinase receptors of the ErbB family.The ErbB2 and ErbB4 receptors cooperate in transmission of neuregulin-1 signals in the heart, whereas ErbB2 and ErbB3 cooperate in neural crest cells.

ncbi summary :
The neuregulins, including NRG4, activate type-1 growth factor receptors (see EGFR; MIM 131550) to initiating cell-to-cell signaling through tyrosine phosphorylation (Harari et al., 1999 [PubMed 10348342]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
uniprot summary :
NRG4: Low affinity ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor. Concomitantly recruits ERBB1 and ERBB2 coreceptors, resulting in ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the ERBB receptors. Does not bind to the ERBB1, ERBB2 and ERBB3 receptors. Belongs to the neuregulin family. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 15q24.2. Cellular Component: extracellular space; integral to membrane; extracellular region; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: growth factor activity; receptor binding. Biological Process: epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; phosphoinositide-mediated signaling; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; nerve growth factor receptor signaling pathway; organ development; innate immune response
