| Mol. Weight |
The protein has a predicted MW of 32.9 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 38-42 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
| Form |
Lyophilized |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22um filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). 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 |
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFA) has been proposed as a candidate gene in the etiology of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS-CL/P) and of nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NS-CPO). Biologic support for a role of TGFA arises from its presence at high levels in the epithelial tissue of the medial edge of the palatal shelves at the time of shelf fusion in mice. |
