ULBP6/RAET1L Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

ULBP6/RAET1L, is a polymorphic locus that expresses a functional transcript. ULBP6 had a more restricted expression profile in cell lines and primary human tissues than other NKG2D ligands, but expression was detected in several human papillomavirus-positive cervical carcinoma cell lines and was inducible on infection with human CMV. Expression of ULBP6 on target cells induced a significant increase in NK-cell killing.

Overview

A DNA sequence encoding the human RAET1L (AAK91503.1) (Met1-Ser217) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Activity

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.

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.

Molecular Weight

The recombinant human RAET1L consists 203 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 23.2 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.
