Figure 1. SDS-PAGE
1 μg of recombinant human CLCF1 was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing condition and visualized by Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining.

Figure 2. Size analysis
The recombinant human CLCF1 was sedimented through a glycerol gradient and each fraction was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. By comparison with standard proteins, CLCF1 is predicted to be a monomer.

Figure 3. Bioactivity assay
The biological activity of recombinant human CLCF1 was determined by growth of SH‑SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell.
