The separation DescriptionBovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a high purity, lyophilized "Fraction V" powder derived from the plasma of MPI-inspected healthy New Zealand origin animals. The albumin is isolated from other plasma protein products and lipids by a unique proprietary, non-solvent procedure. The separation process includes a modified Cohn / heat-shock procedure designed to inactivate proteases and other potentially interfering enzymes. Further processing such as extensive membrane dialysis and filtration, minimizes analytes that can cause background interference in sensitive in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays as well as inhibition in sensitive cell and microbial culture systems. Typical purity levels are in excess of 99%. New Zealand Source Standard Grade bovine albumin product is an economical choice that is ideal for most diagnostic and research applications.ApplicationsProtease-sensitive Immunoassays such as RIA, EIA, Fluorescent and ChemiluminescentProtein Standard, DiluentProtein, Conjugate or Enzyme StabilizerHybridizationSelected Cell Culture applicationsFeatures/BenefitsHigh Purity, Low Interference, Low BackgroundVirtually No Detectable Protease Activity, Ensures Assay Integrity“Closed Loop” Manufacturing* – Minimizes Contamination and Maximizes ReproducibilitySuperior Solubility/Filterability for Ease of UseProduct Development and Technical Services Designed for maximum responsiveness and FlexibilityManufactured from MPI inspected Bovine PlasmaManufactured According to FDA cGMPsValidated for Prion (TSE) ClearanceSpecificationsProtein (dry basis) ≥ 96.0%Purity (albumin) ≥ 98%Solubility (4% water) Clear/slightly hazyMoisture ≤ 5.0%pH (10% water) 6.5 to 7.5Ash < 2%Protease ≤ 0.005 Units/mgEndotoxin ≤ 3 EU/mgIgG Not DetectedPhysical CharacteristicsBovine Serum Albumin is a highly soluble yellow to green with tan to green cast lyophilized powder.

Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules.Background:CD14 is a 55 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. The human CD14 cDNA encodes a 375 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 19 aa signal peptide and a C-terminal hydrophobic region characteristic for glycosylphosphatidyinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Human CD14 has four potential N-linked glycosylation sites and also bears O-linked carbohydrates. The amino acid sequence of human CD14 is approximately 65% identical with the mouse, rat, rabbit, and bovine proteins. CD14 is a pattern recognition receptor that binds lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and a variety of ligands derived from different microbial sources. The binding of CD14 with LPS is catalyzed by LPS-binding protein (LBP). The toll-like-receptors have also been implicated in the transduction of CD14-LPS signals. Similar to other GPI-anchored proteins, soluble CD14 can be released from the cell surface by phosphatidyinositol-specific phospholipase C. Soluble CD14 has been detected in serum and body fluids. High concentrations of soluble CD14 have been shown to inhibit LPS-mediated responses. However, soluble CD14 can also potentiate LPS response in cells that do not express cell surface CD14...

It is widely expressed, and serves as a strong Purity:>90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:ER alpha (Estrogen receptor alpha; also Estradiol receptor and NR3A1) is a 65-70 kDa member of the NR3 subfamily, nuclear hormone receptor family of proteins. It is widely expressed, and serves as a strong activator of estrogen-responsive genes. ER alpha is normally quiescent and bound to heat-shock proteins and immunophilins. Following beta -estradiol binding, it becomes activated, either homodimerizes or heterodimerizes with ER beta, and binds to DNA with multiple coactivators. Human ER alpha is 595 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a DNA binding region (aa 185-250), three NLSs (aa 256-260; 266-271; 299-303), a steroid-binding site (aa 351-543), a dimerization motif (aa 497-518), and an O-GlcNAc attachment around Thr575. Major phosphorylation sites exist at Tyr537, Ser167 and Ser118. Multiple splice forms exist. There is an 80 kDa isoform that shows a substitution (duplication) of aa 412-517 for Asp411, a second isoform with a deletion of aa 255-366, a third isoform with a deletion of aa 152-412, and a fourth isoform that shows a Thr substitution for aa 152-595. Human ER alpha is only 46% aa identical to human ER beta. Over aa 1-116, human ER alpha shares 85% aa identity with mouse ER alpha...
