ED50 ≤ 0.5 ng/mL, measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells.
Storage Buffer:
In? PBS, pH 7.4 (10% glycerol).
Storage Instruction:
Stored at 4°C for 2-4 weeks, should be stored at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
This gene is a member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. [provided by RefSeq
