Biological Activity

Description

Cardiotrophin-1/CTF1 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His), a member of IL-6 family of cytokines, is required for cardiac myocyte maturation and plays an important role in the differentiation, development, and survival of neural stem cells.

Background

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is required for cardiac myocyte maturation and is capable of promoting cell survival in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes subjected to serum deprivation through an antiapoptotic pathway mediated by MAPK, ERK1/2CT1[1]. CT-1 exhibits impressive neuroprotective effects and delay the procession of motor neuron degenerative disorders by prolonging the median neuronal survival time, improving motor function and promoting regeneration in neonatal rat motor neurons in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive motor neuropathy and spinal muscular atrophy and in adult rats with spinal cord injuries[2].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<0.2 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.
