CD36 Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His Tag)

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in Immunophenotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. Cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), also known as FAT, SCARB3, GP88, glycoprotein IV (gpIV) and glycoprotein IIIb (gpIIIb), is a member of the CD system as well as the class B scavenger receptor family of cell surface proteins. CD36 can be found on the surface of many cell types in vertebrate animals and it consists of 472 amino acids and is extensively glycosylated. It is an integral membrane protein primarily serving as receptors for thrombospondin and collagen and by the erythrocytes infected with the human malaria parasite. The role of CD36 as a cell surface receptor has been extended to that of a signal transduction molecule.

A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain of mouse CD36 (NP_001153030.1) (Gly 30-Lys 439) was expressed, with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus and a signal peptide at the N-terminus.

1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. 2. Immobilized human RSPO1-His (Cat:PH51896M2) at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated mouse CD36-His (Cat:PM53312M2), The ECof can bind biotinylated mouse CD36-His (Cat:PM53312M2) is 0.1-0.4 μg/mL.

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 CD36 consists of 421 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 47.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rmCD36 is approximately 80-90 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.
