Source

Recombinant Human FN-1, amino acid sequence (Glu32-Pro1991) (Accession: #BC117176), was expressed in CHO cells. The carboxy-terminus contains TG-8His-2(SGGG) tag.

Molecular Mass

The 1973 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 217 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 190 – 230 kD and 200 – 230 kD respectively by SDS-PAGE. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Gln.

Purity

> 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.

Formulation

0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in 300 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0

Endotoxin Level

Less than 0.1 EU per µg of cytokine as determined by the LAL method.

Concentration

25 µg size is bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.

Storage & Handling

Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin the vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Activity

Recombinant human FN-1 supports the adhesion of mouse L929 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 15 – 100 ng/mL.

Application

Bioassay

Application Notes

BioLegend carrier-free recombinant proteins provided in liquid format are shipped on blue-ice. Our comparison testing data indicates that when handled and stored as recommended, the liquid format has equal or better stability and shelf-life compared to commercially available lyophilized proteins after reconstitution. Our liquid proteins are validated in-house to maintain activity after shipping on blue ice and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, contact us at tech@biolegend.com.

Distribution

Plasma FN (soluble dimeric form) is secreted by hepatocytes. Cellular FN (dimeric or cross-linked multimeric forms), made by fibroblasts, epithelial, and other cell types, is deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix.

Function

Fibronectins bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin

Interaction

Cell surface, collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin

Ligand/Receptor

Integrins α5β1, α4β1, α4β7, α9β1, αvβ3; non-integrin receptors TLR-4, CD44, Syndecan-4, collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin

Bioactivity

FN-1 supports the adhesion of mouse L929 cells.

How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?

We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!

What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?

The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.

Have your recombinants been tested for stability?

Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.

Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?

Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.

How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?

Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
