Introduction
Glypican 4, also known as GPC4, is part of a family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored heparan sulphate proteoglycans (HSPGs) which take part in the control of cell division and growth regulation. GPC4 is broadly expressed in human tissues, including lung, kidney, heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. In addition, GPC4 has been shown to be present in astrocytes, haematopoietic-progenitor and bone-marrow-stromal cells.
Description
Glypican-4 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Ala19-Ser529) containing 521 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 58.7kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
Glypican-4 filtered (0.4µm) solution at a concentration of 0.2mg/ml in 20mM Tris buffer, 50mM NaCl, pH 8.0 and 5mM DTT.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
