GDF-15 Protein (Primary Amine Labeling), Human, Recombinant (hFc), Biotinylated

• Catalog Number: orb1960682
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an inflammation-associated hormone with poorly defined biology. Here, we investigated the role of GDF15 in bacterial and viral infections. Inflammation induced GDF15, and that GDF15 was necessary for surviving both bacterial and viral infections, as well as sepsis. The protective effects of GDF15 were largely independent of pathogen control or the magnitude of inflammatory response, suggesting a role in disease tolerance. GDF-15 Protein (Primary Amine Labeling), Human, Recombinant (hFc), Biotinylated is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with N-hFc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 37.9 kDa and the accession number is Q99988.
• Tag: N-hFc
• Purity: 98.00%
• MW: 37.9 kDa (predicted). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
• UniProt ID: Q99988
• Expression System: HEK293 Cells
• Biological Origin: Human
