Uniprot Accession
Molecular Weight
Approximately 7.5 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 65 amino acids.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 1 × PBS, pH 7.4, with 5 % trehalose.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
Neuregulin 1 belongs to a family of structurally related polypeptide growth factors and is produced in numerous isoforms by alternative splicing, which allows it to perform a wide variety of functions. These isoforms include heregulins (HRGs), glial growth factors (GGFs) and sensory and motor neuron-derived factor (SMDF). They all have the Ig and EGF-like domain, and can bind to ErbB3 and ErbB4 receptor tyrosin kinases. This binding induces ErbB3 and ErbB4 heterodimerization with ErbB2, stimulating intrinsic kinase activity, which leads to tyrosine phosphorylation. NRG1 isoforms have functions of inducing the growth and differentiation of epithelial, neuronal, glial, and other types of cells.
