b NGF Protein

Root Catalog/Products/Recombinant Proteins

Nerve Growth Factor-beta Human Recombinant produced in CHO is a noncovalently disulfide linked homodimer, glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Ser122-Arg239) containing 2 identical 118 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 26.5 kDa.

Recombinant

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NGF-b in sterile 18M Omega -cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Lyophilized Nerve Growth Factor b although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Nerve Growth Factor-beta should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
