TFPI Human, Sf9

TFPI Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 285 amino acids (29-304a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa). TFPI is expressed with a 9 amino acids His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

TFPI is a protease inhibitor which controls the tissue factor (TF)-dependent pathway of blood coagulation. The coagulation process starts with the creation of a factor VIIa-TF complex, that proteolytically triggers additional proteases (factors IX and X) and eventually results in a fibrin clot. TFPI inhibits the activated factor X and VIIa-TF proteases in an autoregulatory loop. TFPI is glycosylated and predominantly located in the vascular endothelium and plasma in both free forms and complexed with plasma lipoproteins. A number of alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have are known, however the full-length nature of several of these variants were not yet established.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
