Recombinant Mouse BLAME/SLAMF8 Protein (Fc Tag)

The signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) family includes homophilic and heterophilic receptors that modulate both adaptive and innate immune responses. These receptors share a common ectodomain organization: a membrane-proximal immunoglobulin constant domain and a membrane-distal immunoglobulin variable domain that is responsible for ligand recognition. SLAM family of receptors is expressed by a wide range of immune cells. Through their cytoplasmic domain , SLAM family receptors associate with SLAM-associated protein (SAP) -related molecules , a group of cytoplasmic adaptors composed almost exclusively of an SRC homology 2 domain. SLAM family receptors , in association with SAP family adaptors , have crucial roles during normal immune reactions in innate and adaptive immune cells.Mouse SLAM family member 8 , also known as B-lymphocyte activator macrophage expressed , BCM-like membrane protein , SLAMF8 and BLAME , is a single-pass type I membrane protein. It contains one Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. SLAMF8 / BLAME is expressed in lymph node , spleen , thymus and bone marrow. It may play a role in B-lineage commitment and/or modulation of signaling through the B-cell receptor.

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.
