SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the canine NRG1 isoform alpha (XP_858147.1) extracellular domain (Ser19-Lys240) was expressed with five amino acids (DDDDK) at the C- terminus.
Bio-activity	Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized canine NRG1 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind human ErbB4-Fc (P10363-H02H), The EC₅₀ of human ErbB4-Fc (P10363-H02H) is 0.19-0.43 μg/ml.
Research Area	Immunology \|Signal Transduction \|Nuclear signaling \|Nuclear Hormone Receptor \|Co-activator & Co-repressor
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background	Neuregulin 1 or NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. This growth factor was originally identified as a 44-kD glycoprotein that interacts with the NEU / ERBB2 receptor tyrosine kinase to increase its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues. NRG1 is a trophic factor that has been implicated in neural development, neurotransmission, and synaptic plasticity. NRG1 has multiple isoforms that are generated by usage of different promoters and alternative splicing of a single gene. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is essential for the development and function of multiple organ systems, and its dysregulation has been linked to diseases such as cancer and schizophrenia. NRG1 is a schizophrenia candidate gene and plays an important role in brain development and neural function. Schizophrenia is a complex disorder, with etiology likely due to epistasis.
