Product Overview
Biotinylated Recombinant Human CTLA4 (NP_005205.2)(Met1-Phe162) was expressed in HEK293, fused with the a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Description
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4, also known as CTLA4 and CD152, is a single-pass type I membrane protein and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is the second member of the CD28 receptor family. The ligands or counterreceptors for these two proteins are the B7 family members, CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2). CTLA4 transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells, whereas CD28 transmits a stimulatory signal. Intracellular CTLA4 is also found in regulatory T cells and may play an important role in their functions. CD152 or cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an essential receptor involved in the negative regulation of T cell activation. Because of its profound inhibitory role, CD152 has been considered a sound susceptible candidate in autoimmunity and a persuasive target for cancer immunotherapy. In particular, recent evidence suggests that CD152 is also important in the homeostasis and function of a population of suppressive cells, termed regulatory T cells (Treg).
Expression System
HEK293
Species
Human
Tag
C-His Tag
Predicted N Terminal
Lys 36
Form
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Molecular Mass
The recombinant human CTLA4 consists of 138 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 15 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of human CTLA4 is approximately 22-26 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions
Protein length
Met1-Phe162
Endotoxin
< 1.0 EU per μg protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity
> 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Storage
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C. Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.
