Recombinant Mouse CD3 epsilon Protein, Fc Tag, 1 mg

Background
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 delta & CD3 gamma chain, also known as CD3D & CD3G or CD3D&CD3G respectively, are single-pass type I membrane proteins. CD3D, together with CD3- epsilon(CD3E) , CD3-gamma and CD3-zeta, and the T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, forms the T cell receptor-CD3 complex. T cell receptor-CD3 complex plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways.

Source
Recombinant Mouse CD3E, Fc Tag (CDE-M5256) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Asp 23 - Asp 108 (Accession # P22646).
Predicted N-terminus: Asp 23

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 36 kDa. The protein migrates as 40-43 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE).

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

Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution
See Certificate of Analysis for reconstitution instructions and specific concentrations.

Storage
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
No activity loss was observed after storage at:
In lyophilized state for 1 year (4°C); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 3 months (-70°C).

Bioactivity
Please refer to product data sheet.
