Irisin Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (HEK293, N-His)

Irisin is a hormone derived from the FNDC5 gene that promotes energy expenditure via thermogenesis. Irisin Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (HEK293, N-His) is the recombinant human, rat, mouse-derived Irisin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of Irisin Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (HEK293, N-His) is 112 a.a., with molecular weight of 18-28 kDa.

Irisin is a hormone found to be derived from the fibronectin type III domain (FNDC5) gene, which is primarily released from skeletal muscle following exercise or exposure to cold. Irisin is primarily secreted by muscle and increases with exercise. In particular, irisin has been shown to have beneficial effects on adipose tissue, brain, and bone^[1]. Recombinant human/mouse/rat irisin protein (20-200 ng/ml; 24 h) had no effect on E-selectin expression at low concentrations. When HUVECs were treated with high concentrations of irisin (200 ng/ml), soluble E-selectin concentrations were similar to levels detected in controls treated with regular growth medium^[2].

Measured by its ability to induce p38 MAPK activation in 3T3 L1 mouse embryonic fibroblast adipose-like cells. 1 μg/mL of Recombinant Human Irisin can effectively induce p38 MAPK activation.

Approximately 18-30 kDa due to the glycosylation.

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4 or PBS, pH 7.4, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween80.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
