Miltenyi, 130-103-458, Mouse Noggin, research grade

Biological activity

Background information
Noggin is a disulfide-linked homodimer that acts by binding members of the TGF-β family, and consequently blocks their ability to signal through their receptors. Noggin plays a crucial role in regulating developmental processes by inhibiting the signaling pathway of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4), as well as other BMPs. During embryogenesis Noggin is produced by the dorsal mesoderm and is important for the correct bone morphology and neural tissue formation. Mutations in the Noggin-coding gene (NOG) are associated with several bone diseases. The sequence of Noggin protein shows high homology across several species.

Quality description
Research-grade cytokines are suitable for a wide variety of cell culture applications. They are sterile-filtered prior to lyophilization. Generally, endotoxin levels are <0.1 ng/μg (<1 EU/μg), and purities are >95%. The biological activity is tested in appropriate bioassays.

Overview
Mouse Noggin is a recombinant protein optimized for use in cell culture, differentiation studies, and functional assays.
