Source : Escherichia Coli. Nephroblastoma Overexpressed Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 331 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 36.2 kDa. The NOV is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Nephroblastoma Overexpressed (NOV) which is encoded by the NOV gene is a part of the CCN (CTGF/CYR61/NOV) family. NOV takes part in reducing tumorgenicity and proliferation of certain cancer cell lines. NOV interacts with numerous proteins and is involved in both internal and external cell signaling. NOV is expressed in particular tumors, including Wilm's tumor and most nephroblastomas and is also exerts proangiogenic activities.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NOV in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine Balb/c 3T3 cells is less than 1.0 µg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1000 IU/mg. range of 10.0 -50.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 20,000-100,000units/mg.
