ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (CHO)

CSC-CTK0625

VAP-1 is a type II membrane cell adhesion protein belonging to the copper/topaquinone oxidase family. It is primarily expressed on the high endothelial venules of peripheral lymph nodes and on hepatic endothelia. VAP-1 can catalyze the oxidative deamination of low molecular weight amines, and plays an important role in the migration of lymphocytes to inflamed tissue. Inhibition of VAP-1 can protect against inflammation related damage to certain injured tissues. Additionally, VAP-1 can function as a significant prognostic marker for certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Recombinant VAP-1 is a mixture of monomeric and disulfide linked homodimeric forms of a 737 amino acid polypeptide corresponding to amino acids 27 to 763 of the VAP-1 precursor.

CAT# CSC-CTK0625-10 (10 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0625-50 (50 μg)

CHO cells

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

Measured by its ability to produce hydrogen peroxide during the oxidation of benzylamine. The specific activity >16 pmoles/min/μg of VAP-1.

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Sterile-filtered through a 0.2 micron filter and ly ophilized from 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.8).

Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultra-pure water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 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.
