GDF11 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated homodimer containing 2x109 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 25.0kDa.
GDF-11 belongs to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF-11 is a central developmental factor which controls muscular and neural development. In adults, GDF-11 encourages cardiac hypertrophy reverse by the revival of cardiomyocytes.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GDF11 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50 as determined by the ability to inhibit alkaline phosphatase activity in ATDC5 cells, is 0.2-0.3ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5 x 106units/mg.
