CRP0857

 Product overview

Recombinant Human PEX produced in E. coli has a molecular mass of approximately 23 KDa.

 Description

PEX is the C-terminal hemopexin domain of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2. It has the activity of anti-angiogenesis, and a naturally occurring form of PEX can be detected in vivo. PEX can block angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo, providing a potentially novel therapeutic approach for diseases associated with neovascularization. The appearance of PEX at sites of neovascularization may not only control normal angiogenesis, but when administered in sufficient quantities, may provide a naturally-occurring therapeutic inhibitor of diseases associated with angiogenesis.

 Purity

>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

 Specific Activity

Measured by its ability of suppressing angiogenesis in vitro.

 Formulation

The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with 2mM Tris pH-7.4.

 Storage buffer

Liquid. In PBS Buffer.

 Storage

Lyophilized rHuPEX although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution rHuPEX 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.
