Eledoisin

Eledoisin

Description: A protein that is formed in the venom gland of several species of octopuses and is used as a vasodilator and a contraction agent of extravascular smooth muscle Its molecular weight is 1188.4 having an amino acid sequence of Glp-Pro-Ser-Lys-Asp-Ala-Phe-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 and a molecular formula of C₅₄H₈₅N₁₃O₁₅S

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 Eledoisin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H₂O not less than 100 μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability: Lyophilized Eledoisin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Eledoisin 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 avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity: Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE

Usage: BioWORLD's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
