GDF-3 is a growth and differentiation factor which belongs to the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF-3 and GDF-9 are the only two members of the family which do not form disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 has been found in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. Although signaling in all other members of the family involve the BMP receptors ALK1,2,3, and 6, GDF-3 signals through BMP receptors ALK4 and 7.
Aliases- GDF-3
- Recombinant Human Growth Differentiation Factor 3 (GDF3)
Formulation- Lyophilized from solution in 30mM Acetate buffer, pH 4
Endotoxin Level- <1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Storage Condition- The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at +2° to +8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
