Activity testing is in progress. It is theoretically active, but we cannot guarantee it. If you require protein activity, we recommend choosing the eukaryotic expression version first.

SDF-2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in Baculovirus insect cells with His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 22.7 kDa and the accession number is Q6IBU4.

A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing reconstitution instructions is included with the products. Please refer to the CoA for detailed information.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

Stromal derived factors (SDFs) are a loosely defined group of molecules that are generated by stromal cells. Two of the stromal derived factors, SDF-1 and SDF-4 belong to the chemokine family. Other SDFs, such as SDF-2 and SDF-5 are not well defined and their biological functions are less known. SDF-2 is first isolated from the mouse stromal cell line ST2 as a secretory protein. The amino acid sequence deduced from the murine clone and the human homolog are conserved more than 92 %, and the aa sequence of SDF-2 shows similarity to those of yeast dolichyl phosphate-D-mannose, protein mannosyltransferases. SDF-1 and its receptor are strongly indicated in the progression of various cancers including breast cancer. SDF-2, SDF2-L1, SDF-4, and SDF-5 are ubiquitously expressed in various cancer cell lines and SDF-2, SDF-4 and SDF-5 are expressed in mammary tissues. These SDFs have prognostic value and warrant further investigation in their biological functions and clinical value.
