| Introduction | Chemokine （C-X-C motif） ligand （CXCL7） is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is a protein that is released in large amounts from plaets following their activation. It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator. |
| Description | Neutrophil Activating Protein-2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 70 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7609 Dalton.
The NAP-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized （freeze-dried） powder. |
| Formulation | The CXCL7 protein was lyophilized from a concentrated （1mg/ml） sterile solution containing no additives. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Neutrophil Activating Protein-2in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized NAP-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL7should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein （0.1% HSA or BSA）.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Purity | Greater than 98.0% as determined by（a） Analysis by RP-HPLC.
（b） Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Amino acid sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Glu-Leu-Arg-Cys. |
| Biological Activity | The specific activity as determined by the ability of NAP2 to chemoattract human neurotrophils using a concentration of 1-10 ng/ml. |
| Usage | ProSpec's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
