Appearance Lyophilized powder. Formulation Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against PBS. Endotoxin Level <0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method. Reconstitution Reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant Human Betacellulin (rHuBetacellulin) to 100 μg/mL using ddH2O or PBS. Storage & Stability Lyophilized recombinant Human Betacellulin (rHuBetacellulin) is stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer. It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage. Shipping Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere. Background Betacellulin (BTC), a member of the epidermal growth factor family, is expressed predominantly in the human pancreas and induces the differentiation of a pancreatic acinar cell line (AR42J) into insulin-secreting cells. Betacellulin binds and activates the EGF receptor (EGFR/erbB-1) and erbB-4, and it induces tyrosine phosphorylation of erbB-2, which couples with the EGFR or erbB-4[1]. |
