Recombinant
Description
Secreted Frizzled Related Proteins (sFRPs) modulate WNT signaling by binding directly to WNT proteins in a manner that affects their receptor binding and signaling capabilities. sFRP-1 is a widely distributed protein that can bind directly to WNT1, WNT2, and possibly other WNT proteins, and generally exerts anti-proliferative effects consistent with activity as a WNT antagonist. It also inhibits apoptosis, and has been found to be down-regulated in many solid tumors, but up-regulated in uterine leiomyomas. Recombinant Human sFRP-1 is a glycosylated 283 amino acid protein containing a cysteine-rich Frizzled homologous domain. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human sFRP-1 is 32.5 kDa.

Biological Activity
Determined by its ability to inhibit BMP-2 proliferation effect of ATDC-5 cells. The expected ED50 is 0.3–0.5 µg/ml.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1–1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at –20°C to –80°C.
Storage/Expiration
–20°C
