Recombinant Biotinylated Mouse FcRn / FCGRT & B2M, Avi Tag (Avitag™), 25 µg

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
MABSol® Biotinylated Mouse FCGRT&B2M Heterodimer Protein, Avitag,His Tag&Twin-Strep Tag (BLI verified) (FCM-M82W6) is expressed from human HEK293 cells. It contains AA Ser 22 - Ser 297 (FCGRT) & Ile 21 - Met 119 (B2M) (Accession # Q61559-1 (FCGRT) & P01887-1 (B2M)). Predicted N-terminus: Ser 22 (FCGRT) & Ile 21 (B2M)

Molecular Characterization
Biotinylated Mouse FCGRT&B2M Heterodimer Protein, Avitag,His Tag&Twin-Strep Tag (BLI verified), produced by co-expression of FCGRT and B2M, has a calculated MW of 34.7 kDa (FCGRT) and 14.7 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 Twin-Strep tag at the C-terminus. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 45-50 kDa (FCGRT) and 15 kDa (B2M) respectively due to glycosylation.

Biotinylation
Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.

Biotin:Protein Ratio
The biotin to protein ratio is 0.5-1 as determined by the HABA assay.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22µm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4) with Trehalose as protectant.
