Recombinant Human CD226/DNAM-1 Protein (Fc Tag)

Human DNAX accessory molecule 1 (DNAM-1/CD226) is a 65 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein in the immunoglobulin superfamily. Mature human DNAM-1 contains an extracellular domain (ECD) with two Ig-like C2-set domains and a cytoplasmic region that contains motifs for binding PDZ domains and band 4.1 family proteins. DNAM-1 is expressed on multiple lymphoid and myeloid cells and interacts with CD155 and CD112. Ligation of DNAM-1 promotes the activation of NK cells; CD8+ T cells; and mast cells; dendritic cell maturation; megakaryocyte and activated platelet adhesion to vascular endothelial cells; and monocyte extravasation; it inhibits the forrmation of osteoclasts. Plateletendothelium; interactions mediated by DNAM-1; enable the metastasis of tumor cells to the lung.

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.
