Catalog #: CYT-468
Description:
Insulin Porcine is a two chain, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 51 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 5777 Dalton.
The ? and ? chains are joined by two interchain disulfide bonds. The ? chain contains an intrachain disulfide bond. Insulin regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat. Insulin Porcine is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source:
Porcine Pancreas.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Insulin Porcine in sterile 18MΩ–cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
The Insulin Porcine was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.
Stability:
Lyophilized Insulin Porcine although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution Insulin Pig 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.
Activity:
26 units/mg.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Usage:
Denovo Biotechnology's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY.They may not be used as drugs,agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
