Name : Human GIP Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human GIP Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Glu22-Gln93.[Accession | P09681]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 9.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 15-25 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 PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose 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 distilled water.

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 Human GIP on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human GIP is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human GIP, His Tag at 0.5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Anti-GIP Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 17.3ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
The potential application of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (gastric inhibitory polypeptide, GIP) in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes has been controversial. Initial interest in the therapeutic use of GIP was dampened by evidence that its insulinotropic activity was reduced in type 2 diabetes and by reports that it increased glucagon secretion and adipose deposition in non-diabetic individuals.

Synonyms :
GIP; Incretin
