MFG-E8 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, sf9, His-Avi)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

MFG-E8 Protein plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal epithelial homeostasis, facilitating mucosal healing, and contributing to VEGF-dependent neovascularization. It acts as a specific ligand, binding to alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors, and participates in the phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells. The protein is also implicated in zona pellucida binding and is a major component of aortic medial amyloid. MFG-E8 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, sf9, His-Avi) is the recombinant human-derived MFG-E8 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag.

Description

MFG-E8 Protein plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal epithelial homeostasis, facilitating mucosal healing, and contributing to VEGF-dependent neovascularization. It acts as a specific ligand, binding to alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors, and participates in the phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells.

MFG-E8 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, sf9, His-Avi) is the recombinant human-derived MFG-E8 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag.

Background

The MFG-E8 protein is involved in multiple essential functions, including the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the facilitation of mucosal healing. It aids in VEGF-dependent neovascularization and contributes to the phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in various tissues. Acting as a specific ligand, it binds to the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors, and it also has the ability to bind to cell surfaces enriched with phosphatidylserine, independently of receptors. Furthermore, it serves as a zona pellucida-binding protein that potentially plays a role in gamete interaction. Additionally, the MFG-E8 protein is a main constituent of aortic medial amyloid.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 0.2 M Arginine, 0.01% Tween 20, pH 8.5, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol, 0.01% Tween 80.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

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[10.1]. 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.
