Background:
FCGRT & B2M heterodimer protein (FcRn complex) consist of two subunits: p51 (equivalent to FCGRT), and p14 (equivalent to beta-2-microglobulin), and forms an MHC class I-like heterodimer. Fc fragment of IgG, receptor, transporter, alpha (FCGRT) binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulins gamma and mediates the uptake of IgG from milk. FCGRT possible role in transfer of immunoglobulin G from mother to fetus. Beta-2-microglobulin (B2M) is a component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system.
Source:
Recombinant MABSol® Biotinylated Cynomolgus / Rhesus macaque FcRn Heterodimer Protein, His,Avitag&Strep II Tag (FCM-C82W5) is expressed from human HEK293 cells. It contains AA Ala 24 - Ser 297 (FCGRT) & Ile 21 - Met 119 (B2M) (Accession # Q8SPV9-1(FCGRT) & Q8SPW0-1(B2M)). In the region Ala 24 - Ser 297 (FCGRT) & Ile 21 - Met 119 (B2M), the AA sequence of Cynomolgus and Rhesus macaque FcRn (FCGRT & B2M) are homologus.
Predicted N-terminus: Ala 24 (FCGRT) & Ile 21 (B2M)
Molecular Characterization
Biotinylated Cynomolgus / Rhesus macaque FcRn Heterodimer Protein, His,Avitag&Strep II Tag, produced by co-expression of FCGRT and B2M, has a calculated MW of 34.1 kDa (FCGRT) and 13.0 kDa (B2M). Subunit FCGRT is fused with an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) is fused with a Strep II tag at the C-terminus. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 40 kDa (FCGRT) and 14 kDa (B2M) respectively due to glycosylation.
