Recombinant Human CD59 glycoprotein (CD59)

1F5 antigen20KDA homologous restriction factor ; HRF-20 ; HRF20MAC-inhibitory protein ; MAC-IPMEM43 antigen; Membrane attack complex inhibition factor ; MACIF; Membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis ; MIRLProtectin; CD59

Potent inhibitor of the complent mbrane attack complex (MAC) action. Acts by binding to the C8 and/or C9 complents of the assbling MAC, thereby preventing incorporation of the multiple copies of C9 required for complete formation of the osmolytic pore. This inhibitor appears to be species-specific. Involved in signal transduction for T-cell activation complexed to a protein tyrosine kinase.The soluble form from urine retains its specific complent binding activity, but exhibits greatly reduced ability to inhibit MAC assbly on cell mbranes.

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

CD59, an LY-6-like protein expressed in human lymphoid cells, regulates the action of the complement membrane attack complex on homologous cells.Davies A., Simmons D.L., Hale G., Harrison R.A., Tighe H., Lachmann P.J., Waldmann H.J. Exp. Med. 170:637-654 (1989)

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
