Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to inhibit IGF-II induced proliferation of MCF-7. The expected ED50 is between 10-20 ng/ml in the presence of 15 ng/ml of human IGF-II.
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not raise to neutral pH. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
Storage Temp.: -20°C
Shipping: Gel pack
Background Information: CTGFL/WISP-2 is a 28.6 kDa protein that belongs to the CCN family of cysteine rich regulatory proteins. Members of this family stimulate mitosis, adhesion, apoptosis, extracellular matrix production, growth arrest, and migration of multiple cell types. The protein is expressed in primary osteoblasts, fibroblasts, ovary, testes, and heart. In addition to promoting adhesion of osteoblasts, CTGFL/WISP-2 inhibits osteocalcin production, as well as binding of fibrinogen to integrin receptors. Recombinant human CTGFL/WISP-2 is a 24.3 kDa protein of 228 amino acid residues.
