Mol. Weight |
The protein has a predicted MW of 11.11 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 20-40 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
Form |
Lyophilized |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 um filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH 7.5). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
Endotoxin |
Less than 1EU per ug by the LAL method. |
Storage |
Reconstituted protein stable at -80°C for 12 months, 4°C for 1 week. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Shipping |
Shipped at ambient temperature. |
Gene Background |
Arterial stiffness is an important feature of diabetic macrovascular complications. Activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7), a member of type I transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptors, is correlated with pathogenic risks of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases and may be involved in cardiovascular remodeling. |
