VISTA Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag), Biotinylated

VSIR (V-Set Immunoregulatory Receptor, also known as VISTA) is a Protein Coding gene. VISTA is an immunoregulatory receptor that inhibits the T-cell response. It may promote differentiation of embryonic stem cells, by inhibiting BMP4 signaling. VSIR, or V-set immunoregulatory receptor, could be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA) is an inhibitory immune-checkpoint molecule that suppresses CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation when expressed on antigen-presenting cells. VSIR is broadly expressed in the spleen, bone marrow, and other tissues. Diseases associated with VSIR include Ichthyosis, Congenital, Autosomal Recessive 6, and Monckeberg Arteriosclerosis. An important paralog of this gene is VSIG8.

A DNA sequence encoding the human VSIR (AAH20568.1) (Met1-Ala194) was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag. The purified protein was biotinylated in vitro.

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. 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.

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.
