Description:

Neuregulin 1 belongs to a family of structurally related polypeptide growth factors and is produced in numerous isoforms by alternative splicing, which allows it to perform a wide variety of functions. These isoforms include heregulins (HRGs), glial growth factors (GGFs) and sensory and motor neuron-derived factor (SMDF). They all have the Ig and EGF-like domain, and can bind to ErbB3 and ErbB4 receptor tyrosin kinases. This binding induces ErbB3 and ErbB4 heterodimerization with ErbB2, stimulating intrinsic kinase activity, which leads to tyrosine phosphorylation. NRG1 isoforms have functions of inducing the growth and differentiation of epithelial, neuronal, glial, and other types of cells.
Manufacturing and testing of this product complies with ICH Q7 guidelines.

Storage/Stability:

Lyophilized vial is shipped at ambient temperature. Immediately upon receipt, store unopened vial at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C for up to 36 months. Upon reconstitution, prepare working aliquots and store at -20°C (manual defrost freezer) or -80°C. It is recommended that a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is added for long term storage. For short term storage reconstituted material is stable for 4-6 weeks when stored at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
