Recombinant Human CXADR/CAR Protein (His Tag)

Coxsackievirus and Adenovirus Receptor (CAR) belongs to the CTX family of the Ig superfamily. CXADR is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein and expressed in pancreas, brain, heart, small intestine, testis, prostate. It is a receptor that mediates gene transfer and also act as an adhesion molecule within junctional complexes, notably between epithelial cells lining body cavities and within myocardial intercalated discs. CXADR contains an extracellular domain, a transmembrane helix and a C-terminal intracellular domain. The C-terminal interacts with few cytoplasmic junctional proteins, microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
