Hu Recom NGF-beta, ACF, 20 µg

From STEMCELL Technologies, this animal component-free human recombinant Nerve Growth Factor beta (NGF-beta) supports the survival and growth of neural cells, regulates cell growth, and promotes differentiation into neurons as well as neuron migration.

Biological activity is determined by the ability of the product to promote proliferation of TF-1 cells, with cell proliferation measured after 60 hours in culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50, defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum, is 1.31 ng/mL. For purity assessment, 1 μg of the product is resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining.

The product is designed to support research areas associated with ciliary neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor beta, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor studies.
