产品描述 概述Recombinant Human Vascular Cell Adhesion Protein 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Phe25-Glu698 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. 使用说明This material is offered by Novin Biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. 技术规格Tag | C-6His | 种属 | Human | 表达系统 | Human cells | Formulation_Description | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, 2mM CaCl2, 2mM MgCl2, 5% Threhalose, pH 7.2. | Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days.Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months. | Reconstitution | Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. | Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. | Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 EU/μg) as determined by LAL test. | Background | VCAM-1 is a single-pass type I membrane protein, contains 7 Ig-like C2-type domains. It is an endothelial ligand for very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) and α4 7 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. |
