Noggin Protein, Mouse (CHO)

Noggin Protein, Mouse (CHO) is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist.

Mammalian noggin is remarkably similar in its sequence to Xenopus noggin, and is similarly active in induction assays performed on Xenopus embryo tissues. In the adult mammal, noggin is most notably expressed in the nervous system^[1]. Noggin is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist expressed in Spemann's organizer. Murine Noggin is expressed in condensing cartilage and immature chondrocytes. In mice lacking Noggin, cartilage condensations initiated normally but developed hyperplasia, and initiation of joint development failed^[2]. Noggin protein binds BMP4with high affinity and can abolish BMP4 activity by blocking binding to cognate cell-surface receptors^[3]. Human Noggin (hNoggin) 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. Human Noggin binds with high affinity to hBMP-4 (and with lower affinity to hBMP-7^[4].

The ED₅₀ is <60 ng/mL as measured by ATDC5 cells.

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.
