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 binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Mouse CD31/PECAM-1 is immobilized at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well), the concentration of Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is approximately 0.05-0.3 μg/mL.
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.
