Human PD-L2 / B7-DC Protein, Fc Tag (HPLC verified)

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PD-L2 or PDCD1 ligand 2) is also known as Butyrophilin B7-DC, CD antigen CD273, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily or BTN/MOG family. The expression of PD-L2 is up-regulated by IFNG/IFN-gamma stimulation in monocytes and induced on dendritic cells grown from peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CSF2 and IL-4. PD-L2 Involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T-cell proliferation and IFNG production in a PDCD1-independent manner. PD-L2 interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and cytokine production.

This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 49.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 60-70 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
