Product Specs

Introduction
Adiponectin, a 244-amino acid protein encoded by the apM1 gene, is primarily produced by adipose cells (hence, an Adipokine). This protein plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. Structurally, adiponectin belongs to the soluble defense collagen superfamily, characterized by a collagen-like domain similar to collagen VIII, X, and a globular domain resembling complement factor C1q. The basic unit of adiponectin is a homotrimer, which can assemble into higher-order complexes found circulating in serum.
Description

Recombinant Human Adiponectin (HMW Rich), expressed in HEK cells, is a single-chain polypeptide comprising amino acids 19-244. This glycosylated protein has a molecular weight of 24.6 kDa (calculated) and consists of 226 amino acids. Under non-reducing conditions on SDS-PAGE, it migrates at approximately 884 kDa.

Physical Appearance
White powder, lyophilized (freeze-dried) and sterile-filtered.
Formulation
Acrp30 was sterile-filtered (0.4µm) and lyophilized at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml in a buffer of 20mM Tris, 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5, and 1mM CaCl2.
Solubility
To prepare a working solution, add deionized water to the lyophilized pellet to achieve a concentration of 0.5mg/ml. Allow the pellet to dissolve completely. For cell culture applications, ensure sterility by filtering the reconstituted protein through a suitable sterile filter before use.
Stability
Store the lyophilized protein at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot the protein and store at 4°C to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The reconstituted protein is stable at 4°C for a limited period.
Purity
Purity is determined to be greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Acrp30, AdipoQ, GBP-28, APM-1, ACDC.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Forms

Adiponectin is a 244 amino acid protein that belongs to the soluble defense collagen superfamily. It has a collagen-like domain structurally homologous with collagen VIII and X and a complement factor C1q-like globular domain . The protein forms homotrimers, which are the building blocks for higher-order complexes found circulating in serum .

There are three main forms of adiponectin:

  1. Low Molecular Weight (LMW)
  2. Medium Molecular Weight (MMW)
  3. High Molecular Weight (HMW)

The HMW form is considered the most biologically active and is particularly important in mediating the insulin-sensitizing effects of adiponectin .

Human Recombinant Adiponectin (HMW Rich)

Human recombinant adiponectin (HMW rich) is produced in HEK293 cells and is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids, with a molecular mass of 24.6 kDa (calculated) . This recombinant form is designed to mimic the naturally occurring HMW adiponectin, making it valuable for research and therapeutic applications.

Physical Appearance and Formulation:

  • Filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder .
  • Formulated in 20mM Tris, 50mM NaCl, pH 7.5, and 1mM CaCl2 .

Solubility and Stability:
