Noggin Protein, Human (CHO)

Noggin Protein, Human (CHO) is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), binds with high affinity to hBMP-4, and with lower affinity to hBMP-7; Noggin Protein is essential for proper skeletal development.

Human Noggin protein has 205 amino acids (residues 28-232) after removal of its signal sequence (residues 1-27) and is secreted as a glycosylated, covalently linked homodimer, binds with high affinity to hBMP-4, and with lower affinity to hBMP-7 and acts as an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)^[1]. Noggin is essential for proper skeletal development; excess BMP activity in the Noggin null mutant results in excess cartilage and failure to initiate joint formation^[2].

ED₅₀ < 2.5 ng/mL, measured in a bioassay using ATDC5 cells in the presence of 10 ng/mL human BMP-4.

• 
  Measured by its ability to inhbit BMP-4-induced alkalnephosphatase production by ATDC5 mouse chondrogenic cells in the presence of Recombinant Human BMP-4 (40 ng/mL), with an ED₅₀ of 4 ng/mL.

29-31 kDa

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS.

<0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

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).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. 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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
