Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Cynomolgus |
Accession | Q8SPV9 |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Ser 297) of Cynomolgus FCGRT (Q8SPV9) was fused with a His tag at the C-terminus, constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the Cynomolgus B2M (Q6V7J5) (Met 1-Met 119) constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the FCGRT/B2M heterodimer was purified. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Ala 24 & Ile 21 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Met 119 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant heterodimer of Cynomolgus FCGRT&B2M comprises 384 (285+99) a.a. and has a calculated molecular mass of 43.5 (31.9+ 11.6) KDa. The apparent molecular mass of Cynomolgus FCGRT&B2M heterodimer is approximately 35 & 12 KDa respectively in SDS-PAGE |
Purity | >98% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Measured by its ability to bind human IgG1 in functional ELISA. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |

Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Details
Target Function | Cell surface receptor that transfers passive humoral immunity from the mother to the newborn. Binds to the Fc region of monomeric immunoglobulin gamma and mediates its selective uptake from milk. IgG in the milk is bound at the apical surface of the intestinal epithelium. The resultant FcRn-IgG complexes are transcytosed across the intestinal epithelium and IgG is released from FcRn into blood or tissue fluids. Throughout life, contributes to effective humoral immunity by recycling IgG and extending its half-life in the circulation. Mechanistically, monomeric IgG binding to FcRn in acidic endosomes of endothelial and hematopoietic cells recycles IgG to the cell surface where it is released into the circulation. In addition of IgG, regulates homeostasis of the other most abundant circulating protein albumin/ALB. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome membrane. |
Protein Families | Immunoglobulin superfamily |
