Biological Activity

Description

Serpin B5/Maspin Protein, Human could inhibit invasion and motility of mammary tumors. Maspin Protein, Human is also found to be a potent angiogenesis inhibitor.

Background

Maspin is a unique member of the serpin family that shares extensive homology with monocyte-neutrophil elastase inhibitor, PAI-2 and other serpins. Maspin has been shown to inhibit invasion and motility of mammary tumors. Tumor transfectants expressing maspin exhibit decreased growth and metastasis in nude mice. Maspin gene expression is not detected in most breast tumors and loss of its expression is correlated with tumor invasiveness. Maspin is also found to be a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. In human breast tissue, maspin seems to be present more in luminal than myoepithelial cells, and it has been suggested that those maspin-expressing myoepithelial cells form a defensive barrier for the progression from ductal carcinoma in situ to more invasive carcinomas. A dispute exists regarding whether maspin acts as a protease inhibitor among biochemists[1].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
