BackgroundSDF-1alpha (stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha) is an alpha-chemokine for haematopoietic stem cells (HSC).4 SDF-1 alpha plays a role in two important processes of granule cell maturation - proliferation and migration - assisting in the achievement of appropriate cell number and position in the cerebellar cortex.5 SDF-1 alpha is also involved in the trafficking of hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells.6 It is expressed by liver cells and in liver diseases.7 Protein DetailsPurity ≥95% by SDS Page Endotoxin Level < 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method Biological Activity The biological activity of Human SDF-1α was determined by its ability to chemoattract 5 - 10 day cultured human T-lymphocytes, or chemoattract BaF/3 hCXCR4 cells. The expected ED<sub>50</sub> for these effects are typically 3 - 9 ng/ml, or 0.15 - 0.6 ng/ml, respectively.

However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS-PAGE is 7 kDa (reducing conditions). Predicted Molecular Mass 8.0 Formulation This recombinant protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 30% acetonitrile (CH3CN) and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Storage and Stability This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.
