Catalogue number
PRO-284
Synonyms
Angiosestatin, Angiosestatin Kringles 1-3, Ang K1-3.
Introduction
Ang K1-3 is a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen containing the first three kringle structures. A specific inhibitor of endothelial cell growth and angiogenesis. More active relative to kringles 1-4. Ang K1-3 reduces endothelial cell proliferation and acts as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth.
Description
Angiosestatin Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 259 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 30.0 kDa.
The Ang K1-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated (1.0mg/ml) solution in 20mM NaAc, pH5.5, 4% mannitol.
Solubility
We recommend to briefly centrifuge the vial prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Stability
The lyophilized Angiosestatin K1-3 is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at
-20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity
The activity is assayed on anti-proliferation and anti-migration of endothelial cells in vitro and anti-angiogenesis in vivo. The specific activity of anti-migration of endothelial cells in vitro is 55,000 Units/mg.
