Description
This gene encodes one member of a family of immunoglobulin Fc receptor genes found on the surface of many immune response cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface receptor found on phagocytic cells such as macrophages and neutrophils, and is involved in the process of phagocytosis and clearing of immune complexes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Storage
Store the lyophilized protein at -20 to -80 centigrade for long term. After reconstitution to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water, the protein solution is stable at -20 centigrade for 3 months, at 2-8 centigrade for up to 1 week. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
