Eledoisin is an undecapeptide formed in the venom gland of several species of octopuses and is used as a vasodilator and a contraction agent of extravascular smooth muscle.

Eledoisin’s molecular weight is 1188.4 having an amino acid sequence of Glp-Pro-Ser-Lys-Asp-Ala-Phe-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 and a molecular formula of C54H85N13O15S.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Eledoisin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized Eledoisin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Eledoisin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
