| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance and Stability | Lyophilized GDF15 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GDF15 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. |
| Formulation and Purity | GDF15 is lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA). Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Application | |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GDF15 in sterile 18M-cm H2O at a concentration of 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Biological Activity | The biological activity was assessed by the inhibition of DU-145 cells and was found to be 1-2µg/ml. |
| Shipping Format and Condition | Lyophilized powder at room temperature. |
| Usage Statement | Our products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
