Prokineticin 2 (PK2) Active Protein | PK2 active protein
Active Prokineticin 2 (PK2)
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Store at 2-8 degree C for one month.
Aliquot and store at -80 degree C for 12 months.
Stability Test:
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Bioactivity
(Prokineticin 2 (PK2) is a memeber of prokineticin family. Prokineticin is a secreted protein that potently contracts gastrointestinal smooth muscle. They are thought to be involved in several important physiological processes like neurogenesis, tissue development, angiogenesis, and nociception. Other important physiological roles the Bv8/Prokineticins (PKs) are involved in may include cancer, reproduction, and regulating physiological functions that influence circadian rhythms like hormone secretion, ingestive behaviors, and the sleep/wake cycle. To test the effect of PK2 on cell proliferation, HCT116 colon cancer cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells/well and allowed to attach, replaced with serum-free overnight, then the medium was replaced with 2% serum standard DMEM containing various concentrations of recombinant human PK2. After incubated for 96h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37°C. Proliferation of HCT116 cells after incubation with PK2 for 96h observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 1. Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) assay after incubation with recombinant PK2 for 96h. The result was shown in Figure 2. It was obviously that PK2 significantly increased cell viability of HCT116 cells.)

Product Notes
The PK2 prok2 (Catalog #AAA149227) is an Active Protein produced from E. coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Active Prokineticin 2 (PK2) reacts with Homo sapiens (Human) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Prokineticin 2 (PK2) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PK2 prok2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Prokineticin 2 (PK2), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
