Oncostatin M Human Recombinant (209 a.a.) Shipping: Synonyms OSM, MGC20461, Oncostatin M. Introduction Oncostatin M is a member of a cytokine family that includes leukemia-inhibitory factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin 6. This gene encodes a growth regulator which inhibits the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines. It regulates cytokine production, including IL-6, G-CSF and GM-CSF from endothelial cells. Description Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 209 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.9kDa.
The Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Source Escherichia Coli. Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Formulation Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution containing 1x PBS pH-7.4. Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Stability Lyophilized Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Oncostatin-M (209 a.a.) should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
