Our customer service representatives are available 24 hours, Monday through Friday to assist you.Introduction | Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock. |
Synonyms | Procalcitonin, PCT. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from 10mM sodium phosphate pH-7.5. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized procalcitonin sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O at 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability | Lyophilized procalcitonin althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution procalcitonin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Amino Acid Sequence | APFRSALESS PADPATLSED EARLLLAALV QDYVQMKASE LEQEQEREGS SLDSPRSKRC GNLSTCMLGT YTQDFNKFHT FPQTAIGVGA PGKKRDMSSD LERDHRPHVS MPQNAN. |
Purity | Greater than 97.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Biological Activity | Human Procalcitonin was tested using Biomerieux reagents on the Min-Vidas. The assay was run at 82 ng/ml with a recovery of 82 percent. |
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. |
