Recombinant Human Pre-B-Cell Colony-Enhancing Factor 1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-His491 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.
Pre-B cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF) was originally identified as a cytokine that potentiated the clonal expansion and differentiation of pre-B cells, but it is also acknowledged to be the ubiquitous intracellular enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltranferase (NAMPT) and the adipokine visfatin. PBEF is constitutively expressed in the fetal membranes where its greatest expression is in the amnion. It has intracellular and extracellular forms. Most of the intracellular functions of PBEF are due to its role as a Nampt which can induce angiogenesis through upregulation of VEGF and VEGFR and secretion of MCP-1. Extracellular PBEF has been shown to increase inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-16, and TGF-beta1. PBEF also increases the production of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta in CD14+ monocyctes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, enhances the effectiveness of T cells.

Notes
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
