Molecular Weight
Approximately 46.4 kDa, a disulfide-linked homodimer consisting of two 206 amino acid polypeptide chains.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 30 % acetonitrile, 0.1 % TFA.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in 10 mM HAc 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.
Background
Noggin encoded by the NOG gene, was first isolated from Xenopus, having the function of inducing secondary axis formation in frog embryos. It inhibits TGF-β family ligands and preventing them from binding to their corresponding receptors. Noggin was originally found as a BMP-4 antagonist, and then has been shown to modulate the activities of other BMPs (BMP-2, 7, 13 and 14). Additionally, it has pleiotropic effect, both in early development and later stages. The results of the mouse knockout of noggin suggest that it is involved in numerous developmental processes, such as neural tube fusion and joint formation. In recent report, proximal symphalangism (SYM1) and multiple synostoses syndrome (SYNS1) have relation with the mutant of evolutionarily conserved amino acid residues of Noggin. Mature mouse Noggin shares 99 % and 83 % a.a. sequence identity with human and Xenopus Noggin, respectively.
