Species: Human Expressing host: HEK293 cells Description: Recombinant Human Angiopoietin-like 8/ANGPTL8 Protein is produced by HEK293 cells expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Ala22-Ala198) of human Angiopoietin-like 8/ANGPTL8 (Accession #NP_061157.3) fused with a hFc tag at the N-terminus. Tag: N-hFC Purity: > 80% as determined by by reducing SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: preparation: Lyophilized from a 0.22 m filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Storage Store the lyophilized protein at -20C to -80C for long term.
After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20C for 3 months, at 2-8C for up to 1 week.Unopened freeze-dried powder,Store at -20 to -80 °C for twelve months
Redissolution: Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid votex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles.Redissolution:Store at -20 to -80 °C,avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles
Background Information : The protein specifically promotes pancreatic beta cell proliferation and beta cell mass expansion, thereby improving glucose tolerance. It promotes pancreatic beta cell proliferation without insulin resistance. Also it acts as a blood lipid regulator by regulating serum triglyceride levels and possibly by promoting ANGPTL3 cleavage. It interacts with ANGPTL3. It predominantly expressed in liver and also expressed in adipose tissues. The ability of the protein to induce pancreatic beta cell proliferation is promising in diabetes therapy. Betatrophin treatment could supply or replace insulin injections by increasing the number of insulin-producing cells in diabetes.
