Multiple physiological roles for these homologs have been sµggested, including ability to bind to hydroxyapatite crystals and to specifically inhibit the tyrosine kinase (TK) activity of the insulin receptor (IR).Fetuin-A (alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein; AHSG) is an important circulating inhibitor of calcification in vivo, and is downregulated during the acute-phase response.Sera from patients on long-term dialysis with low AHSG concentrations showed impaired ex-vivo capacity to inhibit CaxPO4 precipitation.Fetuin may influence the resolution of inflammation by modulating the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages.ASHG blocks TGF-beta-dependent signaling in osteoblastic cells, and mice lacking ASHG display growth plate defects, increased bone formation with age, and enhanced cytokine-dependent osteogenesis. |
| Synonyms | Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, Fetuin-A, Alpha-2-Z-globulin, Ba-alpha-2-glycoprotein, AHSG, FETUA, AHS, A2HS, HSGA, PRO2743. |
| Source | Purified from the human plasma. |
| Physical Appearance | Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation | Filtered (0.4 |
| Solubility | It is recommended to add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture. |
| Stability | Store the lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Usage | NeoBiolab's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drµgs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
