Introduction
Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone produced mainly by the liver and the kidney that regulates the production of platelets by the bone marrow. It stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that fragment into large numbers of platelets.
Description
Thrombopoietin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated soluble polypeptide chain containing 175 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.8kDa which comprises the receptor binding domain of the Mpl-ligand protein.
The TPO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
The TPO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution containing 10mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Thrombopoietin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Thrombopoietin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TPO Human should 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.
