LILRB3 Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His Tag)

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 3, also known as Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 3, Immunoglobulin-like transcript 5, Monocyte inhibitory receptor HL9, CD85 antigen-like family member A, CD85a and LILRB3, is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the leukocyte receptor cluster (LRC) present on 19q13.4. LILRB3 / CD85a contains four Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. LILRB3 / CD85a contains three copies of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM) . This motif is involved in the modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases. LILRB3 / CD85a is expressed on immune cells where it binds to MHC class I molecules on antigen-presenting cells and transduces a negative signal that inhibits stimulation of an immune response. It is thought to control inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity to help focus the immune response and limit autoreactivity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.

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 secreted recombinant mouse LILRB3 comprises 627 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 70 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of rmLILRB3 is approximately 73 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing 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.
