Molecular Weight:Mature human EPO, containing 166 amino acid residues, has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 21 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the recombinant protein migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 36-40 kDa in SDS-PAGE.
Synonyms:Epoetin
Accession:P01588
Biological Activity:Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The Specific Activity was measured by the stimulation of reticulocyte production in normocyth-aemic mice and is no less than 1.5 × 105 IU/mg.
Purity:> 98 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Formulation:Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in sodium citrate buffer (1 liter of ddH2O containing 5.9 g of sodium citrate, 5.8 g of sodium chloride and 0.06 g of citric acid).
