GASP-1, human recombinant
A secreted inhibitory TGF-β binding protein
Product Overview
Product Name: GASP-1, human recombinant
Alternate Name/Synonyms: GDF-associated serum protein-1, GASP, KIAA0443, WFIKKNRP
Gene Symbol: GASP
Accession #: Q5JY77
Gene ID: 9737
Source: CHO cells
Appearance: Lyophilized powder
Physical Form Description: Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.8.
Molecular Weight: 55-66 kDa
Purity by SDS-PAGE: ≥95%
Purity by HPLC: N/A
Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).
Biological Activity: Determined by its ability to inhibit human Myostatin (GDF-8) activity in MCP-11 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.0025-0.0040 ug/ml in the presence of 5ng/ml of human Myostatin (GDF-8)
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. 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: Growth and differentiation factor-associated serum protein-1 (GASP-1) is a secreted inhibitory TGF-β binding protein that contains multiple protease inhibitor structural domains. It is expressed primarily in the ovary, testis, and brain, and can act as a potent soluble inhibitor of myostatin and GDF-11, but not Activin-A. The GASP-1 gene encodes a 571 amino acid protein that contains a 29 amino acid secretion signal sequence, and multiple identifiable structural features, including a WAP domain, a follistatin/Kazal domain, an immunoglobulin domain, two tandem Kunitz domains, and a netrin domain. Recombinant human GASP-1 is a 542 amino acid protein that migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 55-66 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under non-reducing conditions.
