Description
Noggin is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist expressed in Spemann's organizer. It inhibits TGF-β family ligands and preventing them from binding to their corresponding receptors.
Molecular Weight
The protein migrates as 30 KDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) .
Purity
> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Measured by its ability to bind BMP2 with Elisa method .
Optimal concentrations should be determined by each laboratory for each application
Endotoxin
<1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS.
Reconstitution
It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH2O or PBS up to 100 μg/ml.
