ProSpec-NOV Mouse

Protein NOV homolog, NovH, CCN family member 3, Nephroblastoma-overexpressed gene protein homolog, Nov, Ccn3, C130088N23Rik.

Nephroblastoma Overexpressed is a member of the CCN family of secreted cysteine rich regulatory proteins. The full length NOV protein is comprised of 4 structural domains, which present distinct, and sometimes opposing, biological activities. An elevated expression of NOV is linked with certain tumors, including Wilm’s tumor and most nephroblastomas. On the other hand, in other tumor types and certain cancer cell lines, increased tumorgenicity and proliferation is associated with decreased NOV expression.

NOV Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 333 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 36.4kDa.
The NOV is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

NOV protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5 and 150mM NaCl.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NOV in sterile 18M-cm H₂O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized NOV although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution NOV 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 .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
Analysis by RP-HPLC.
Analysis by -PAGE.
