Molecular Weight The recombinant human SHH( aa 198-462) consists of 276 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 29 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 35 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Cys 198
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the amino acid sequence (Cys 198-Ser 462) of human SHH (Q15465), that is Sonic hedgehog protein C-product, was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus and a signal peptide at the N-terminus.
Bio-activity Measured by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production by C3H10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts.
The ED50 for this effect is 12-24 μg/mL.

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 Sonic HedgeHog, also known as sonic hedgehog protein, belongs to the hedgehog family. It cannot be detected in adult tissues while can be found in fetal intestine, liver, lung, and kidney. Sonic HedgeHog is a protein that is vital in guding the early embryo. It has been associated as the major inductive signal in patterning of the ventral neural tube, the anterior-posterior limb axis, and the ventral somites. Sonic HedgeHog intercellular signal is essential for a various patterning events during development: signal produced by the notochord that induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites, and the polarizing signal for patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Sonic HedgeHog binds to the patched receptor, which functions in association with smoothened, to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of sonic HedgeHog, patched receptor represses the constitutive signaling activity of smoothened. Sonic HedgeHog also regulates another factor, the gli oncogene. Defects in sonic hedgehog can cause microphthalmia isolated with coloboma type 5, triphalangeal thumb-polysyndactyly syndrome and holoprosencephaly type 3.
