Nerve growth factor (NGF) was composed of three non-covalently linked subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma. The human protein shares approximately 90% homology at the amino acid level with both the mouse and rat beta -NGF and exhibits cross-species activity. NGF is a well-characterized neurotropic protein that plays a critical role in the development of sympathetic and some sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system.

Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Purity |
> 95% by SDS-PAGE. |
Biological Activity |
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 5-20 ng/mL. |
Endotoxin |
< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Cautions
1.For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves for operation.
2.For research use only.
