Background
Azurocidin (AZU1) is also known as Heparin-binding protein (HBP), Cationic antimicrobial protein CAP37, is a neutrophil granule-derived antibacterial and monocyte- and fibroblast-specific chemotactic glycoprotein. which belongs to the peptidase S1 family and elastase subfamily. AZU1 / HBP contains 1 peptidase S1 domain. AZU1 binds heparin. The cytotoxic action of AZU1 is limited to many species of Gram-negative bacteria; this specificity may be explained by a strong affinity of the very basic N-terminal half for the negatively charged lipopolysaccharides that are unique to the Gram-negative bacterial outer envelope. AZU1 may play a role in mediating recruitment of monocytes in the second wave of inflammation.
Source
Recombinant Human Azurocidin, His Tag (AZ1-H5225) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ile 27 - Pro 250 (Accession # AAH69495).
Predicted N-terminus: Ile 27
Molecular Characterization
rhAZU1 / HBP, fused with 6×His tag at the C-terminus, has a calculated MW of 25 kDa. The predicted N-terminus is Ile 27. DTT-reduced Protein migrates as 32-40 kDa due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg of the rhAZU1 / HBP by the LAL method.
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Refer to data sheet
