Recombinant Human CD47/IAP Protein (Fc & Avi Tag)

CD47 (Integrin-Associated Protein; IAP) is a 40 - 60 kDa variably glycosylated atypical member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The ubiquitously expressed CD47 binds to SIRP family members on macrophages; neutrophils; and T cells. CD47 is involved in the increase in intracellular calcium concentration that occurs upon cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. The protein is also a receptor for the C-terminal cell-binding domain of thrombospondin; and it may play a role in membrane transport and signal transduction. This protein has broad tissue distribution; and is reduced in expression on Rh erythrocytes.

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.
