ACTIVITY TEST
 
                                Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), also called Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 (MIC-1), is a divergent member of the Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta ) superfamily. Human GDF-15 shares 66% and 68% amino acid sequence identity with the rat and mouse proteins, respectively. GDF-15 is highly expressed in placenta and brain, and it is expressed at lower levels in kidney, pancreas, prostate, and colon. Similar to other TGF-beta family proteins, GDF-15 is synthesized as a large precursor protein that is cleaved at a dibasic cleavage site (RxxR) to release the mature protein.Biologically active GDF-15 is a disulfide-linked homodimer of the mature protein. GDF15 has been shown to have various functions, including inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-alpha ) production from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages and the induction of cartilage formation. Besides,GDF15 improved the tolerance of ESCC cell lines to low-dose cisplatin by regulating AKT phosphorylation via TGFBR2,thus a functional ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human GDF-15 and recombinant human TGFbR2. Briefly, biotin-linked GDF-15 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100μl were then transferred to TGFBR2-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37℃. Wells were washed with PBST 3 times and incubation with Streptavidin-HRP for 30min, then wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37℃. Finally, add 50µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of GDF-15 and TGFBR2 was shown in Figure 1, the EC50 for this effect is 1.80ug/mL.
USAGE
Reconstitute in 10mM PBS (pH7.4) to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex.
STORAGE
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months.
STABILITY
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
