Recombinant Mouse VCAM1 Protein (His Tag)

Catalog No.: BLPSN-4764

Product Overview

Tag	His
Host Species	Mouse
Accession	NP_035823.3
Synonym	CD106, Vcam-1
Background	Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), also known as CD16, is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Two forms of VCAM-1 with either six or seven extracellular Ig-like domains are generated by alternative splicing, with the longer form predominant. VCAM-1 is an endothelial ligand for very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) and alpha4β7 integrin expressed on leukocytes, and thus mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction. VCAM-1 expression is induced on endothelial cells during inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, allograft rejection, infection, and asthmatic responses. During these responses, VCAM-1 forms a scaffold for leukocyte migration. VCAM-1 also activates signals within endothelial cells resulting in the opening of an "endothelial cell gate" through which leukocytes migrate. VCAM-1 has been identified as a potential anti-inflammatory therapeutic target, the hypothesis being that reduced expression of VCAM-1 will slow the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, VCAM-1-activated signals in endothelial cells are regulated by cytokines indicating that it is important to consider both endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression and function during inflammatory processes.Immune CheckpointImmunotherapyCancer ImmunotherapyTargeted Therapy
Description	A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Glu 698) of mouse VCAM1 (NP_035823.3) was fused with the a His tag at the C-terminus.
Source	HEK293
Predicted N Terminal	Phe 25
AA Sequence	Met 1-Glu 698
Molecular Weight	The secreted recombinant mouse VCAM1 consists of 685 a.a. and has a predicted molecular mass of 75.8 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rmVCAM1 is approximately 90-100 kDa due to glycosylation.
Purity	>97% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Endotoxin	< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
Bioactivity	Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support adhesion of U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cells. When 5 x 10E4 cells/well are added to mouse VCAM1 coated plates (10 ug/ml with 100 ul/well), approximately 70%-80% cells will adhere after 1 hour at RT.
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Stability	The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C.
Usage	For Research Use Only
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.
