MCSF Rat Recombinant produced in HEK-293 cells is a secreted protein (amino acids Glu33-Arg254). M-CSF is disulfide-linked homodimer containing 2 x 222 a.a chains.
Recombinant Rat MCSF, produced in HEK-293 cells, is a secreted protein encompassing amino acids Glu33 to Arg254. This protein exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer, with each subunit containing 222 amino acids.
Lyophilized MCSF demonstrates stability at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, it is recommended to store it desiccated at temperatures below -18°C. Once reconstituted, MCSF should be stored at 4°C for 2-7 days. For extended storage, freezing at -18°C is recommended. To enhance long-term stability during storage, consider adding a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain protein integrity.
M-CSF is a glycoprotein that exists as a homodimer. It is primarily produced by monocytes, granulocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. The recombinant version of M-CSF, specifically the rat recombinant M-CSF expressed in Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells, is engineered to mimic the natural protein’s structure and function. This recombinant form is used extensively in research and therapeutic applications due to its high purity and biological activity.
The recombinant M-CSF expressed in HEK cells is widely used in various research and clinical settings:
