Angiostatin Kringles 1-3 Human (Recombinant)

Synonyms

Angiostatin, Angiostatin Kringles 1-3, Ang K1-3.

Ang K1-3 is a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen containing the first three kringle structures. A specific inhibitor of endothelial cell growth and angiogenesis. More active relative to kringles 1-4. Ang K1-3 reduces endothelial cell proliferation and acts as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth.

Description

Angiostatin Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 259 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 30.0 kDa. The Ang K1-3 is 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 (1.0mg/ml) solution in 20mM NaAc, pH5.5, 4% mannitol.

Solubility

We recommend to briefly centrifuge the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Stability

The lyophilized Angiostatin K1-3 is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Biological Activity

The activity is assayed on anti-proliferation and anti-migration of endothelial cells in vitro and anti-angiogenesis in vivo. The specific activity of anti-migration of endothelial cells in vitro is 55,000 Units/mg.

Protein content

Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods.

1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 2.08 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of Ang K1-3 as a Reference Standard.
