Name : Cynomolgus GFRAL/GFR alpha-like Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Cynomolgus GFRAL/GFR alpha-like Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag and Avi tag at the N-Terminus. It contains Gln20-Glu351.[Accession | XP_015304775.2]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 40.7 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50-70 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 20mM PB, 0.4M NaCl (pH 6.0). Normally 8% mannitol is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 20mM PB, 0.4M NaCl (pH 6.0).

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Cynomolgus GFRAL on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Cynomolgus GFRAL is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Cynomolgus GFRAL, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Cynomolgus GDF15, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 3.6ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
GFR alpha -like (GDNF receptor-alpha-like) is a distant member of the GDNFR family of proteins. Mature human GFR alpha-like is a 376 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein. It contains a 333 aa extracellular domain, a 20 aa transmembrane domain and a 23 aa cytoplasmic domain.GFRAL is a brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15 which regulates food intake, energy expenditure and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses.

Synonyms :
GFR alpha-like; GFRAL; GRAL; C6orf144; GFR alpha like
