Description
Enables amyloid-beta binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in learning or memory; regulation of protein metabolic process; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell homeostasis; B cell mediated immunity; and myeloid dendritic cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; external side of plasma membrane; and extracellular space. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and ganglionic eminence. Orthologous to several human genes including LILRB5 (leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptor B5).
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When biotinylated recombinant rat MAG/Siglec-4a Fc Chimera is catured on Streptavidin coated plate, Recombinant Mouse PIR-B binds with an apparent Kd < 100 nM.
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.
