Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version
This protein carries no "tag".
The protein has a calculated MW of 12.4 kDa. The protein migrates as 12.0 kDa under reducing (R) condition, and 11 kDa and 25 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM HAC, pH3.0 with trehalose as protectant.
