| Introduction | Chemokine （C-C motif） ligand 14 （CCL14） is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is also commonly known as HCC-1. It is produced as a protein precursor that is procesed to generate a mature active protein containing 74 amino acids that and is 46% identical in amino acid composition to CCL3 and CCL4. This chemokine is expressed in various tissues including spleen, bone marrow, liver, muscle, and gut. CCL13 activates monocytes, but does not induce their chemotaxis. Human CCL13 is located on chromosome 17 within a cluster of other chemokines belonging to the CC family. |
| Description | HCC-1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 8411 Dalton.
The HCC-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized （freeze-dried） powder. |
| Formulation | The CCL14 protein was lyophilized with 20mM PBS pH-7.4 and 150mM NaCl. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized HCC-1 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized HCC1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CCL14 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. |
| Purity | Greater than 97.0% as determined by（a） Analysis by RP-HPLC.
（b） Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
