Stanniocalcin 2 Human HEK293

Introduction to the Molecule

Stanniocalcin-2 is a secreted protein, homodimer, disulfide-linked. It has an anti-hypocalcemic action on calcium and phosphate homeostasis. It is expressed in a variety of tissues including muscle, heart, pancreas, kidney, spleen, prostate, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leucocytes. It belongs to the stanniocalcin family.

Research topic

Bone and cartilage metabolism, Oncology

Purity

>90%

SDS-PAGE gel

12% SDS-PAGE separation of Human STC-2 1. M.W. marker – 14, 21, 31, 45, 66, 97 kDa 2. reduced and heated sample, 5μg/lane 3. non-reduced and non-heated sample, 5μg/lane

Formulation

Filtered (0,4 μm) and lyophilized in 0.5 mg/mL in 20mM Tris buffer, 20 mM NaCl, pH 7.5

Reconstitution

Add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5 mg/mL and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.

Storage, Stability/Shelf Life

Store lyophilized protein at –20°C. Lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at –20°C. Aliquot reconstituted protein to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles and store at –80°C for long term storage. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after one week at 4°C.

Quality Control Test

BCA to determine quantity of the protein.

SDS PAGE to determine purity of the protein.

Applications

Cell culture and/or animal studies, ELISA, Western blotting

Note

This product is intended for research use only.
