Recombinant human 2B4 / CD244 / SLAMF4 Protein, Fc Tag , 1mg

Background
Natural killer cell receptor 2B4 is also known as NK cell type I receptor protein 2B4 (NKR2B4 or h2B4), SLAM family member 4 (SLAMF4), Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule 4, CD antigen CD244. NKR2B4 / CD244 contains two Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domains. CD244 is expressed in spleen, PBL, followed by lung, liver, testis and small intestine. CD244 interacts with CD48. Following phosphorylation, CD244 is able to recruit PTPN11/SHP-2 and SH2D1A/SAP. SLAMF4 modulate other receptor-ligand interactions to enhance leukocyte activation. CD244/2B4 is the only heterophilic receptor of SLAM family.

Source
Recombinant human 2B4 / CD244 / SLAMF4 Protein, Fc Tag (2B4-H5255) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Cys 22 - Arg 221 (Accession # NP_057466).
Predicted N-terminus: Cys 22

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 48.9 kDa. The protein migrates as 60-80 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg of the Human 2B4, Fc Tag by the LAL method.

Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM tris, 100 mM glycine, pH7.5. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose are added as protectants before lyophilization.

Reconstitution
See Certificate of Analysis for details of reconstitution instruction and specific concentration.

Storage
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. No activity loss was observed after storage at:
In lyophilized state for 1 year (4°C-8°C); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 1 month (4°C-8°C) or 3 months (-20°C to -70°C).
