ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13

CSC-CTK0353

APRIL, a member of the TNF superfamily, is expressed in monocytes, macrophages, certain transformed cell lines, certain cancers of colon, and lymphoid tissues. APRIL, along with another TNF family member, BAFF, compete for two receptors, TACI and BCMA. ARPIL has the ability to stimulate proliferation of various tumor cell lines including Jurkat T cells and MCF-7 carcinoma cells. Like BAFF, APRIL also stimulates the proliferation of B and T cells. The human APRIL gene codes for at least four alternatively spliced transcriptional variants, which give rise to different isoforms of the APRIL precursor protein. All isoforms can be cleaved by the protease, furin, to release a soluble C-terminal fragment, which comprises the TNF like receptor binding of the APRIL precursor. Recombinant human APRIL is a soluble 16.3 kDa protein, consisting of 146 amino acid residues.

Human

Human TNFSF13 expressed in High-5 Insect Cells

16.3 kDa

CAT# CSC-CTK0353-10 (10 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0353-50 (50 μg)

High-5 Insect Cells

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC analysis.

Measured by its ability to induce cell death in Jurkat cells.

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Sterile-filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophi lized from a protein solution in 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.5), 500 mM NaCl, 5% trehalose.

Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultrapure water or aqueous buffers to a concentration of 0.1 - 1.0 mg mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.

The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
