Description :
Thymosin B4 is a 43 amino acid peptide which is regarded as the main intracellular
G-actin sequestering peptide. Extracellular Thymosin b4 may contribute to physiological processes such as angiogenesis, wound healing, and regulation of inflammation.
Thymosin b4 has an a.a. sequence of Ac-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro-Asp-Met-Ala-Glu-Ile-Glu-Lys-Phe-Asp-Lys-Ser-Lys-Leu-Lys-Lys-Thr-Glu-Thr-Gln-Glu-Lys-Asn-Pro-Leu-Pro-Ser-Lys-Glu-Thr-Ile-Glu-Gln-Glu-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Glu-Ser-OH.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Thymosin beta4 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H
2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized Thymosin b4 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18
0C. Upon reconstitution Thymosin b4 should be stored at 4
0C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18
0C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained.
Dimers and aggregates:
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Thymosin b4.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm.
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Thymosin beta4 as a Reference Standard.
