GM-CSF Receptor alpha Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc Tag)
Product Specifications
Background
CD116/GM-CSFR has been preferentially associated with M4, M5 subtype of AML but is not specific. The cluster of differentiation (cluster of designation) (often abbreviated as CD) is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecules present on white blood cells initially but found in almost any kind of cell of the body, providing targets for immunophenotyping of cells. Physiologically, CD molecules can act in numerous ways, often acting as receptors or ligands (the molecule that activates a receptor) important to the cell. A signal cascade is usually initiated, altering the behavior of the cell (see cell signaling) . Some CD proteins do not play a role in cell signaling, but have other functions, such as cell adhesion. CD116/GM-CSFR is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric receptor for colony stimulating factor 2, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The encoded protein is a member of the cytokine family of receptors. CD116/GM-CSFR is found in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the X and Y chromosomes.
Overview
A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Gly 320) of human GM-CSFRα (NP_006131.2) pro-protein was expressed with the C-terminal fused Fc region of human IgG1.

Expression System
HEK293 Cells
Tag
C-hFc
Endotoxin
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity
> 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Activity
Measured by its ability to inhibit GM-CSF dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The EDfor this effect is typically 10-15 μg/ml.
Form
Lyophilized
Buffer
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.
Function
Cytokine Proteins, Interleukin proteins, CD Molecule proteins, Receptor Proteins
Molecular Weight
The recombinant human GM-CSFRα consists of 536 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 61.2 kDa.
Storage Conditions
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.
