Introduction
HER-2/neu (erbB-2) encodes an 185-kDa orphan receptor tyrosine kinase that is constitutively active as a dimer and displays potent oncogenic activity when overexpressed. Herstatin, as the product of alternative HER-2 transcript, retains intron 8.
The herstatin mRNA is expressed in normal human fetal kidney and liver, but is at reduced levels relative to p185HER-2 mRNA in carcinoma cells that contain an amplified HER-2 gene. Herstatin appears to be an inhibitor of p185HER-2, because it disrupts dimers, reduces tyrosine phosphorylation of p185, and inhibits the anchorage-independent growth of transformed cells that overexpress HER-2.
Description
ErbB-2 Human Recombinant is a 43.4 kDa protein containing 397 amino acid residues of the human Herstatin, and an extra Methionine at N-Terminal (underlined), produced in E.coli.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The ErbB-2 filtered (0.4µm) solution in 0.05M Acetate buffer pH-4 and 5% trehalose.
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).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
