Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human NRG1-β1 (>98%)
Endotoxin Level
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Formulation
This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.
State of Matter
Lyophilized
Storage and Handling
The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.

Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
Western Blotting: To detect Human NRG1-β1 this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human NRG1-β1 is 2 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:N188.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.

Description

Specificity
Goat Anti-Human Neuregulin 1-β1 (NRG1-β1) recognizes Human NRG1-β1. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.
Background
Neuregulin/Heregulin is a family of related growth factors that are differentially spliced variants of four genes: NRG1, NRG2, NRG3 and NRG4. The longest forms of NRG contains several different modular domains and tissue-specific splicing results in many NRG isoforms containing different sets of these domains. Alternative splicing produces two types of EGF domain, designated a and b. HRG-Beta1 contains an Ig domain and an EGF domain necessary for direct binding to receptor tyrosine kinases erbB-3 and erbB-4. HRG-Beta1 binding causes erbB-3 and erbB-4 to dimerize with erbB-2 (Her2/neu) and thereby regulates the phosphorylation of erbB-2 tyrosines. HRG-Beta1 stimulates proliferation and motility of breast cancer cells and plays a role in wound healing by stimulating epidermal migration and differentiation of epidermal cells and by stimulating the expression of integrins in the epidermis.
