TEM7 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

Plexin domain-containing protein 1, also known as tumor endothelial marker 3, tumor endothelial marker 7 and PLXDC1 and TEM3, is a secreted, cytoplasm and single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the plexin family. PLXDC1 / TEM3 is detected in endothelial cells from colorectal cancer, and in endothelial cells from primary cancers of the lung, liver, pancreas, breast and brain. It is expressed in fibrovascular membrane with increased expression in individuals with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. PLXDC1 / TEM3 is not detectable in endothelial cells from normal tissue. PLXDC1 / TEM3 plays a critical role in endothelial cell capillary morphogenesis. PLXDC1 / TEM3 may play a significant role in the proliferation and maintenance of neovascular endothelial cells in the formation of fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) . PLXDC1 / TEM3 may be a molecular target for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) . PLXDC1 / TEM3 interacts with NID1. It may also interact with CTTN.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human PLXDC1 consists of 419 amino acids and predictes a molecular mass of 47 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rh PLXDC1 is approximately 65-70 kDa due to glycosylation

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
