Cat. No.	Z101735
Name	Recombinant Human GDF3 (E. coli)
Description	GDF-3 is a growth and differentiation factor which belongs to the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF-3 and GDF-9 are the only two members of the family which do not form disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 has been found in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. Although signaling in all other members of the family involve the BMP receptors ALK1,2,3, and 6, GDF-3 signals through BMP receptors ALK4 and 7.
Organism	Human (H. sapiens)
Unit quantity	20 µg
Family	TGF-beta Super-family
Aliases	KFS3, MCOP7, MCOPCB6
Gene Symbol	GDF3
Gene ID	9573
Accession Number	Q9NR23
Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	13 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from solution in 30mM Acetate buffer, pH 4
Function	Measured by its ability to induce Smad2 phosphorylation in P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells.
Reconstitution	A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in sterile 100mM Acetate buffer, pH 4 at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Please note that in higher concentrations the solubility of GDF3 is limited. The protein is not lypholized in a filtered solution. Please sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.
Storage	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z101735

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.
