Stability and Reconstitution
| Stability and Storage | Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products. |
| Reconstitution | Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4. Gently swirl or tap vial to mix. |

Background
Betacellulin (BTC) is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of proteins, which play a critical role in cell growth, differentiation, and repair. It is initially synthesized as a membrane-bound precursor, later cleaved to release its active soluble form (PMID 27635238). BTC is known to bind to and activate the ErbB receptor family, particularly ErbB1 (also known as EGFR) and ErbB4, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and survival (PMID 24440602). BTC is highly expressed in various tissues, including the pancreas, where it promotes the growth and regeneration of insulin-producing beta cells, suggesting a potential role in diabetes treatment (PMID 33553143). Due to its wide-ranging effects, betacellulin has been studied for therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine and cancer (PMID 31678994, 12704384).
