ActoFactor™ Recombinant Rat Fractalkine

Specification

Cat.No.

CSC-CTK0871

Description

Fractalkine is a CX3CL chemokine that signals through the CX3CR1 receptor. Fractalkine has been shown to chemoattract monocytes, microglia cells and NK cells. Recombinant rat Fractalkine is an 8.7 kDa protein containing 76 amino acid residues, including the four conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

Product Overview

Rat Cx3cl1 expressed in E.coli

Molecular Mass

8.7 kDa

Size

CAT# CSC-CTK0871-20 (20 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0871-100 (100 μg)

Expression System

E.coli

Purity

Greater than 98% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.

Activity

Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 5.0- 10.0 ng/ml.

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a sterile-filtered solution with no additives.

Reconstitution

Please centrifuge product before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted with distilled, sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. For further dilution, carrier protein (0.1% BSA or HSA) should be added to avoid loss of bioactivity.

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.
