Synonyms
MCOPS3, ANOP3, MGC2413, SOX2, SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2.
Introduction
SOX2 is a transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. SOX4 is important for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency.
Description
Sox2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 330 amino acids (317 aa residues of the full length Sox2) and having a molecular mass of 36kDa.
Sox2 is fused to a 13 amino acid TAT peptide at C-terminus (GGYGRKKRRQRRR) & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 2×PBS, pH 7.4 and 5% trehalose.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Sox2 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Sox2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Sox2 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.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
