Description
The protein encoded by this gene is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation.
Bio-activity
Measured by its ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cells. When 5 × 10^4 cells/well are added to rhCD31 coated plates (3.3 μg/mL, 100 μL/well) in the presence of 20 ng.mL PMA, approximately 50-65% will adhere after 30 minutes at 37 centigrade.
Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
