rat gAcrp30/gAdiponectin

SOURCE: E. coli

PURITY: >98% by SDS-PAGE Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng per ug

FORM: Lyophilized with no additives

RECONSTITUTION: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of <0.3 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4oC for 1 week or -20oC for future use.

STORAGE CONDITIONS: The lyophilized protein is best-stored desiccated below 0oC. Reconstituted gAcrp30 should be stored in working aliquots at -20oC.

Murine gAcrp30 (amp-1) is a 16.6 kDa protein that corresponds to the C-terminal globular domain of adiponectin (amp-1). gAcrp30/Adipolean is expressed and secreted exclusively by adipose tissue. This protein possesses unique pharmacological properties for regulation of body weight and lipid metabolism. It is a key component in controlling energy homeostasis. Recently, gAcrp30/Adipolean has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of myelomonocytic progenitors. The Recombinant rat gAcrp30/Adipolean is a 16.6 kDa protein consisting of 145 amino acid residues.

DESCRIPTION:

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Determined by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of murine myeloid cell lines M1. The ED50 for this effect is < 1-3 ug/ml.
