Mouse Sonic Hedgehog (Cys25Ile-Ile) Recombinant Protein Tag Free Lyophilized from Innovative Research has been recombinantly produced in E. coli. This is a Lyophilized protein buffered in Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, 1mM DTT, pH 7.4. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100UG/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. with a purity of Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.Endotoxin level less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 IEU/ug) as determined by LAL test..More Details: Species: Mouse Target: Shh Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.Endotoxin level less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 IEU/ug) as determined by LAL test. Source: E. coli Storage Conditions: Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20░C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7░C for 2-7 days.Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20░C for 3 months. Additional Information:Mouse Sonic Hedgehog Homolog (SHH) belongs to a three-protein family called Hedgehog. The other two family members are Indian Hedgehog (IHH) and Desert Hedgehog (DHH). Hedgehog proteins are key signaling molecules in embryonic development. SHH is expressed in various embryonic tissues and plays critical roles in regulating the patterning of many systems, such as limbs and brain. SHH also plays an important role in adult, including the division of adult stem cells and the development of certain cancers and other diseases.Mouse Shh is synthesized as a 437 aa precursor that contains a 24 aa signal sequence and a 413 aa mature region. The mature region is autocatalytically processed into a nonglycosylated, 20 kDa, 174 aa NŁterminal fragment (ShhŁN), and a catalyticŁprocessing,glycosylated, 34 kDa, 239 aa CŁterminal fragment. The 20 kDa ShhŁN fragment is the core of the active hedgehog molecule. Mouse ShhŁN is 99%, 98%, and 100% aa identical to human, rat and gerbil ShhŁN, respectively. This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only. . At Innovative Research we provide reliable, consistent products that deliver reliable, consistent results.
