Introduction
CXCL14 is involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. BRAK protein is structurally related to the CXC (Cys-X-Cys) subfamily of cytokines. CXCL14 displays chemotactic activity for monocytes but not for lymphocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils or macrophages. CXCL14 is involved in the homeostasis of monocyte-derived macrophages.
Description
CXCL14 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 88 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 10.66 kDa.
The Human BRAK contains a 10 a.a. fusion His tag at N-Terminus.
The BRAK is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
CXCL14 filtered (0.4µm) and lyophilized from a concentrated (0.5mg/ml) solution containing 20mM Tris buffer & 20mM NaCl pH-7.5.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CXCL14 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.
Stability
Lyophilized BRAK although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BRAK 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.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
