Angiogenin-1, human, recombinant
01-A0560
Angiogenin (ANG) belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family, showing 33% amino acid sequence similarity to the bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (Rnase) A, but being less enzymatic efficient. It is one of the most potent angiogenesis factors, inducing vascularization of normal as well as malignant tissues. The angiogenic activity seems to depend on both its ribonucleolytic activity and the translocation to the nucleus of epithelial cells and regulation of gene expression by direct binding to DNA. Angiogenin is capable of inhibiting cellular protein synthesis, due to its tRNA-specific cytotoxic effects. Various cell lines secrete Angiogenin, it is also present in normal human plasma.

Source
ISOkine™ recombinant human Angiogenin-1 is produced in the endosperm tissue of barley grain (Hordeum vulgare), that exhibits up to 50 times less protease activity than E.coli or mammalian cells. Barley seed is void of any human or animal viral contaminants that could jeopardize your cell culture.
Formulation
Sterile filtered through a 0.2 µm filter. Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.2
Purity
Greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Reconstitution
Note: Always centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration of no less than 100 µg/ml. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Stability
The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for few weeks, is best stored at -20°C. Reconstituted protein should be used immediately or stored in working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity
No commercial bioassay is available. The identity of the protein was confirmed by western blotting with protein specific antibodies (cat. no AF265 from RnD systems) and by mass spectrometry.
Endotoxin Level
Endotoxin level is less than 0.005ng per µg of ISOkine™ product (0.05EU/µg) as measured by turbidimetric kinetic assay.* * Ref. Associates of Cape Cod Industries, Deacon Park, Knowsley, Liverpool, UK.
MAT assay
Purified ISOkine™ product carries no pyrogenic or pro-inflammatory contaminants, as assayed with monocyte activation test using Human 10-plex Cytokine Assay measuring IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta induction.** ** Ref. The Blood Bank, University Hospital of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland
Molecular Weight
Recombinant human Angiogenin-1 contains 124 amino acids and a 16 a.a. histidine-based tag for a total length of 140 a.a. and has a predicted molecular mass of 16.4 kDa including his-tag. The recombinant protein migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 21 kDa in SDS-PAGE.
