Cat#:RP-5220H;Product Name:Recombinant Human Procalcitonin Protein;Synonym:Procalcitonin, PCT.;Description:Procalcitonin Protein produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 116 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.8 kDa. The Procalcitonin is purified by standard chromatographic techniques.;Source:E.coli;AA Sequence:APFRSALESS PADPATLSED EARLLLAALV QDYVQMKASE LEQEQEREGS SLDSPRSKRC GNLSTCMLGT YTQDFNKFHT FPQTAIGVGA PGKKRDMSSD LERDHRPHVS MPQNAN.;Purity:Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.;Bioactivity:Human Procalcitonin was tested using Biomerieux reagents on the Min-Vidas. The assay was run at 80ng/ml with a typical recovery of 80 percent.;Formulation:Lyophilized from 10mM sodium phosphate pH-7.5.;Stability:Recombinant Proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70℃;Reconstitution:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized procalcitonin sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O at 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.;Storage:Lyophilized procalcitonin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution procalcitonin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.;
