Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | Procalcitonin, PCT. |
Background | Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly expressed 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. |
Description | Procalcitonin Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 116a.a. and having a molecular weight of 12.8 kDa.The Procalcitonin is purified by standard chromatographic techniques. |
Source | E.coli |
AA Sequence | APFRSALESS PADPATLSED EARLLLAALV QDYVQMKASE LEQEQEREGS SLDSPRSKRC GNLSTCMLGT YTQDFNKFHT FPQTAIGVGA PGKKRDMSSD LERDHRPHVS MPQNAN. |
Purity | >95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | Human Procalcitonin was tested using Biomerieux reagents on the Min-Vidas. The assay was run at 80ng/ml with a typical recovery of 80 percent. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from 10mM sodium phosphate pH-7.5. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized procalcitonin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution procalcitonin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
