| Amount : | 5 mg |
| Purification : | Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC. |
| Content : | The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives. |
| Storage condition : | Lyophilized EDN2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution EDN2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| AA sequence : | Cys-Ser-Cys-Ser-Ser-Trp-Leu-Asp-Lys-Glu-Cys-Val-Tyr-Phe-Cys-His-Leu-Asp-Ile-Ile-Trp. |
| Alternative Name : | EDN2, EDN-2, vasoactive intestinal contractor peptide, VIC, ET-2, Endothelin-2, Preproendothelin-2, PPET2, ET2. |
EDN2 contains 21 amino acids having a molecular mass of 2546.97 Dalton. Endothelin-2 is a Hypoxia-induced Autocrine Survival Factor for Breast Tumor Cells. The synthesis of EDN2 by human kidney carcinoma cells is decreased by EGF. EDN2 is a chemoattractant for macrophages and THP-1 monocytic cells. Chemotaxis towards EDN2 is via the MAPK pathway: p44 and p42 are phosphorylated when THP-1 cells are stimulated with EDN2. Migration to EDN2 is inhibited by hypoxia and by pertussis toxin. EDN2 leads to activation of macrophages. EDN2 shares a similar peptide sequence with chemokines and may signal via a similar receptor and MAPK-mediated pathway. Furthermore, EDN2 expression by tumors may modulate the behavior of macrophages such that activated cells accumulate in areas of hypoxia.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized EDN2 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
