Recombinant Human EPO | Z101435

abm | Recombinant Human EPO | Z101435

EPO is predominantly synthesized and secreted by tubular and juxtatubular capillary, endothelial, and interstitial cells of the kidney. Approximately 10-15% of the total amount of EPO comes from extrarenal sources and is predominantly produced by hepatocytes and Kupffer cells of the liver. Approximately 40% of the molecular mass of EPO is due to its glycosylation. Glycosylation is an important factor determining the pharmacokinetic behaviour of EPO in vivo. Non-glycosylated Epo has an extremely short biological half life. Recombinant Human EPO is a glycosylated protein that runs at approximately 35 kDa owing to its glycosylation.

Functions:

Activity was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation assay using a factor-dependent human erythroleukemic cell line TF-1 and was found to be less than 0.2ng/ml

N/A

Purity:

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE

Concentration:

<1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method

Shipping Condition :

Ambient Temperature

Storage Condition:

The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
