Biological Activity

Description

NRG1-beta 1 Protein, a specific ligand for ERBB3, belongs to a family of structurally related polypeptide growth factors. NRG1-beta 1 Protein can regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and migration. NRG1-beta 1 Protein plays an important role in tumors and neurological diseases, and also has certain neuroprotective activity. NRG-1 Protein, Human is a recombinant NRG1-beta 1 protein expressed by E. coli without tags[1][2][3][4][5].

Background

NRG1-beta 1 has an epidermal growth factor-like domain. As a ligand for ErbB3, NRG1-beta 1 can induce the formation of ErbB2-ErbB3 (HER2-HER3) heterodimers, thereby activating downstream signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT and MAPK. NRG1-beta 1 promotes tumor cell survival, migration and invasion. NRG1-beta 1 also participates in processes such as neuronal migration, proliferation, differentiation and synaptic establishment[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

NRG1-beta 1 Protein (Human; 40 ng/mL; 12 h) can inhibit DEPTOR protein levels in MCF7 and MDA-MB-361 cells[4].

In Vivo

NRG1-beta 1 Protein (Human; 0.05-1 μg/kg; intravenous injection; 7 days) has a protective effect in a mouse model of photothrombotic ischemia, reducing cerebral infarction, restoring forelimb function, and promoting the proliferation and differentiation of neurons and oligodendrocytes[5].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured in a serum-free cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The ED50 this effect is ≤ 2.158 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is ≥ 4.6339×105 units/mg.

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, 200 mM arginine, pH 8.0.
3.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, 8% trehalose, pH 7.4.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
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. 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.
