Other Proteins

Animal-Free Recombinant Human BMP-4 (E.coli derived) (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-120-05ET). Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute a subfamily within the TGF-beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely distributed throughout the body, and are involved in diverse physiological processes during both pre- and postnatal life. Like BMP-7, BMP-4 is involved in the development and maintenance of bone and cartilage. Reduced expression of BMP-4 is associated with a number of bone diseases, including the heritable disorder Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva. PeproTech's E.coli-derived BMP-4 is a fully active homodimeric protein consisting of two 106 amino acid subunits, which correspond to amino acids 303-408 of the full length BMP-4 precursor. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human BMP-4 (E.coli-derived) is 23.9 kDa.

Animal-Free Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat Activin A (E.coli derived) (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-120-14E). Activin A is a TGF-beta family member that exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation, and promotion of neuronal survival. Elevated levels of Activin A in human colorectal tumors and in postmenopausal women have been implicated in colorectal and breast cancers, respectively. The biological activities of Activin A can be neutralized by inhibins and by the diffusible TGF-beta antagonist, follistatin. Activin A binds to the two forms of activin receptor type I (Act RI-A and Act RI-B) and two forms of activin receptor type II (Act RII-A and Act RII-B). Activins are homodimers or heterodimers of different beta subunits. They are produced as precursor proteins with an amino terminal propeptide that is cleaved to release the C-terminal bioactive ligand. Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat Activin A is a 26.0 kDa disulfi

Animal-Free Recombinant Human GDF-3 (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-120-22). GDF-3 is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, and is highly homologous to GDF-9. Unlike most TGF-beta family members, GDF-3 and GDF-9 are not disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 is expressed in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. The expression of GDF-3 is upregulated in high-fat-fed wild-type FABP4/aP2 null mice and was associated with obesity, but not with the related hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia that characterizes Type 2 diabetes. Recombinant Human GDF-3 is a 26.0 kDa non-disulfide-linked homodimer containing two 114 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Animal-Free Recombinant Human Vitronectin (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-140-09). Vitronectin is a secreted glycoprotein that is synthesized in the liver. It circulates primarily in monomeric form, but can undergo conformational change to a structure that forms disulfide-linked multimers. The multimeric vitronectin can efficiently bind to, and incorporate into, the extracellular matrix. Within the matrix, vitronectin can support cell adhesion through binding to various integrins and other proteoglycans. Additionally, recombinant vitronectin can function as a chemically-defined matrix component in human embryonic stem cell renewal media. Recombinant Human Vitronectin is a 459 amino acid, single-chain, monomeric protein, which migrates at an apparent molecular weight of 75 kDa by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human Vitronectin is 52.2 kDa.

Animal-Free Recombinant Human IL-7 (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-200-07). IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor that primarily affects early B and T cells. Produced by thymic stromal cells, spleen cells and keratinocytes, IL-7 can also co-stimulate the proliferation of mature T cells in combination with other factors, such as ConA and IL-2. Human and murine IL-7 are cross-species reactive. Recombinant Human IL-7 is a 17.5 kDa protein containing 153 amino acid residues.

Animal-Free Recombinant Murine IL-2 (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167AF-212-12). IL-2 is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells, NK cells, lymphokine-activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and oligodendrocytes. Recombinant Murine IL-2 is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 148 amino acid residues.
