Description
Product Name: | Human Procalcitonin Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB1288 |
Size: | 10µg |
Species: | Human |
Target: | Procalcitonin |
Synonyms: | Procalcitonin, PCT. |
Source: | Escherichia Coli |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | Lyophilized from 10mM sodium phosphate pH-7.5. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized procalcitonin sterile 18M?-cm H2O at 100 �g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |

Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock.
Procalcitonin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 116 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 12.8 kDa.The Procalcitonin is purified by standard chromatographic techniques.
