| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Epidermal Growth Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. | ||
| Apparent Molecular Weight | 88~90 kDa (single chain), 59~61 kDa (alpha chain), 30~34 kDa (beta chain), on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. | ||
| Stability | Upon receiving, this product remains stable for 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 1 week at 4°C or for 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. | ||
| Biological Activity | ED50 < 10.0 ng/ml, measured in a cell proliferation assay using 4MBr5 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 105 U/mg. | ||
| Endotoxin Level | < 0.2 EU/μg of protein by gel clotting method | ||
| Reconstitution | It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH₂O or PBS up to 100 μg/ml. | ||
| Formulation | Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS. | ||
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility. It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells. HGF synergizes with Interleukin-3 and GM-CSF to stimulate colony formation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro and may, therefore, also modulate hematopoiesis.
