This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

Purity

> 98 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/ug of EPGN as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

7.9 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

EPGN protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine Balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 300 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 3.3 x 10^3 IU/mg.

Background: EPGN

Epigen is a member of the epidermal growth factor family and is expressed by several tissues, including the testis, liver, heart and in certain tumor cells. It is strongly mitogenic for fibroblasts and epithelial cells, despite its relatively weak affinity for its main receptor, ErbB1. The mitogenic potential of Epigen is enhanced by its unusually long persistence on the membrane before ubiquitylation and receptor-mediated depletion. The gene of human Epigen encodes a 154 amino acid (a.a.) residue type I transmembrane precursor glycoprotein which contains a 22 a.a. signal peptide, an 88 a.a. extracellular domain, a 21 a.a. transmembrane domain and a 23 a.a. cytoplasmic domain. By alternative splicing of the gene, Epigen has several isoforms. The mature, shed form of human Epigen (54 - 104a.a.) shares 92 %, 94 % and 94 % a.a. sequence identity with mouse, rat and equine Epigen, respectively.
