Invitrogen™ Mouse CCL20 (MIP-3 alpha) Recombinant Protein

Description

CCL20 (mouse) Recombinant Protein, RP-8673, from Invitrogen.

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 alpha (MIP-3alpha), also called CCL20, is expressed in the liver, lungs, lymph nodes and peripheral blood lymphocytes. MIP-3alpha is strongly up regulated by inflammatory signals, and down regulated by the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. MIP3alpha signals through the G protein-coupled receptor, CCR6, and acts as a chemoattractant to lymphocytes and dendritic cells. Recombinant mouse VEGF-120 is an alternative spliced version of mouse VEGF-165. It is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two chains, with a molecular weight of 28.2 kDa. Purity is typically greater than 95% and endotoxin level less than 1 EU/ug. The expected biological activity (ED50) is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and is typically 1-5 ng/mL. The specific activity of this protein is 1x10^6 units/mg. Reconstitute using sterile water at 0.1mg/mL and centrifuge prior to opening vial. Gently pipet solution down the sides of the vial. DO NOT VORTEX sample. Store reconstituted material at -20°C and add 0.1% BSA for additional stability.
