Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity is determined by its ability to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16?E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons. rHuTAFA?2, immobilized at 6?24 μg/mL on a 96 well plate, is able to significantly enhance neurite outgrowth.

Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Has a role as neurotrophic factor involved in neuronal survival and neurobiological functions.
Gene References into Functions
Data identified two, BCL2 and FAM19A2, novel loci and replicated known variants associated with insulin sensitivity. Further studies are needed to clarify the causal variant and function at the BCL2 and FAM19A2 loci.PMID:27416945
