Specifications

Product Data
Species	Human
Expression Host	E. coli
Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence	Protein Sequence (showhide) MHHLPDRSQLCRKVKFQVDFNLIGWGSWIIYPKQYNAYRCEGECPNPVGEEFHPTNHAYIQSLLKRYQPHRVPSTCCAPVKTKPLSMLYVDNGRVLLDHHKDMIVEECGCL with polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Tag	His Tag (C-term)
Predicted MW	The protein has a calculated MW of 13.75 kDa. The protein migrates as 18 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
Purity	>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Buffer	The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution containing 20 mM sodium citrate, 0.2 M NaCl, pH 3.5.
Applications	Cell culture
Storage	Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Bioactivity	Measure by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC5 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <2.2 ng/mL.
Endotoxin	<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Reference Data
UniProt ID	Q96S42
Synonyms	Nodal
Summary	Bone morphogenetic protein 16 (BMP-16) predicts a molecular mass of 18 kDa. BMPs are multi-functional Growth Factorss that belong to the transforming Growth Factors beta (TGF-β) superfamily. BMPs initiate signaling from the cell surface by binding to two different receptors (R: Type I and II). The heterodimeric formation of type I R and II R may occur before or after BMP binding, inducing signal transduction pathways through SMADs.
