Recombinant Mouse CD16-2/FCGR4 Protein (His Tag)

Fcgr4, also known as CD16-2, is one of the receptors for Fc region of IgG which involve in immune responses. Fcgr4 mainly functions in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide, NK T cell proliferation, regulation of sensory perception of pain, wound healing etc. Three groups are included for Fc γ receptors (FcR), and they are Fc γ RI (CD64), Fc γ RII (CD32), and Fc γ RIII (CD16) . Among these, CD64 possess high affinity even for monomeric IgG, while CD32 and CD16 display a relative lower affinity for IgG. Genes encodes these receptors are diverse differing by species and cell types. The aggregation of FcR having immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) activates sequentially src family tyrosine kinases and syk family tyrosine kinases that connect transduced signals to common activation pathways shared with other receptors. FcR with ITAMs elicit cell activation, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. Fcgr4 belongs to Fc γ RIII (CD16) group.

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized mouse FCGR4 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human IgG1 (Fc) . The EC50 of human IgG1 (Fc) is 0.11-0.25 μg/ml.

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.
