Fetuin A/AHSG is a human plasma glycoprotein belonging to the Cystatin family of proteases inhibitors. It is highly expressed in embryonic cells and adult hepatocytes, and is expressed to a lesser extent in monocytes/macrophages. Fetuin A/AHSG is a major serum protein component that exerts various calcium dependent physiological activities, and can mediate growth signaling in certain tumor cells. It also can act as a natural antagonist against specific TGF-β and BMP signaling proteins. Recombinant human Fetuin-A is a heterodimeric protein containing a 282 amino acid A chain and a 27 amino acid B chain. Due to glycosylation, recombinant Fetuin-A migrates at an apparent molecular weight of 45 – 55 kDa by SDS-PAGE run under non-reducing conditions.
Physical form
Sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter. Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.8.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
Storage Class
