ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13

  • Specification
Cat.No.
CSC-CTK0353
Description
APRIL, a member of the TNF superfamily, is expressed in monocytes, macrophages, certain transformed cell lines, certain cancers of colon, and lymphoid tissues. APRIL, along with another TNF family member, BAFF, compete for two receptors, TACI and BCMA. ARPIL has the ability to stimulate proliferation of various tumor cell lines including Jurkat T cells and MCF-7 carcinoma cells. Like BAFF, APRIL also stimulates the proliferation of B and T cells. The human APRIL gene codes for at least four alternatively spliced transcriptional variants, which give rise to different isoforms of the APRIL precursor protein. All isoforms can be cleaved by the protease, furin, to release a soluble C-terminal fragment, which comprises the TNF like receptor binding of the APRIL precursor. Recombinant human APRIL is a soluble 16.3 kDa protein, consisting of 146 amino acid residues.
Species
Human
Product Overview
Human TNFSF13 expressed in High-5 Insect Cells
Molecular Mass
16.3 kDa
Size
CAT# CSC-CTK0353-10 (10 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0353-50 (50 μg)
Expression System
High-5 Insect Cells
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC analysis.
Activity
Measured by its ability to induce cell death in Jurkat cells.
Endotoxin Level
Less than 1 EU/μg.
Formulation
Sterile-filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophi lized from a protein solution in 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% trehalose.
Reconstitution
Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultrapure water or aqueous buffers to a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.
Storage & Stability
The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
