Highly conserved proteins, members of the Hedgehog family are widely represented throughout the animal kingdom. The three known mammalian Hedgehog proteins; Sonic (SHH), Desert (DHH) and Indian (IHH) hedgehog share a high degree of sequence and structural identity. SHH is specifically known to be expressed in fetal intestine, liver, lung and kidney. Recombinant Human SHH represents the N-product (N-terminal domain with Cys24 substituted by an Ile-Val-Ile sequence) which retains all the known signalling capabilities.
Aliases- SHH, HHG-1
- Recombinant Human Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)
Formulation- Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution in Phosphate buffer and NaCl
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.
