Cat. No.	Z101065
Name	Recombinant Human Insulin (INS)
Description	As secreted heterodimeric peptide hormone produced by the pancreas, Insulin is central to regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat in the body. Insulin increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids and accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
Organism	Human (H. sapiens)
Unit quantity	250 mg
Family	IGF/Insulin Family
Tag	Tag Free
Aliases	IDDM, IDDM1, IDDM2, ILPR, IRDN, MODY10, PNDM4
Gene Symbol	INS
Gene ID	3630
Accession Number	P01308
Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	6.0 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 a 0.2 μm filtered solution with no additives
Reconstitution	A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water. To increase solubility, a few drops of acetic acid can be added to reduce the pH; solubilize at 1-2 mg/ml in dilute acetic or HCl, pH 2–3. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL.
Shipping Conditions	This lyophilized protein is shipped at ambient temperature. Cold packs may be used if transit temperatures are elevated. The product remains stable during normal shipping conditions.
Storage	Upon receipt, store lyophilized protein at –70°C for long-term storage. Short-term storage at –20°C is acceptable if necessary. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C for up to 1 month, or at –20°C for up to 6 months. 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. Z101065

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.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	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.
