CD48 Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Cluster of Differentiation 48 (CD48), also known as SLAMF2, BCM-1 and BLAST-1, is a GPI-linked protein belonging to the CD2 subfamily of immunoglobulin superfamily molecules. CD2 and 2B4 (CD244) are known ligands for CD48. CD48 protein is expressed on most lineage-committed hematopoietic cells but not on hematopoietic stem cells or multipotent hematopoietic progenitors. CD48 protein performs biological functions in a variety processes including adhesion, pathogen recognition, cellular activation, and cytokine regulation, and emerges as a critical effector molecule in immune responses.

Overview

A DNA sequence encoding the mouse CD48 (NP_031675.1) without the propeptide, corresponding to the amino acids (Met 1-Arg 216) was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.

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

CD Molecule proteins, Cancer proteins, Immunotherapy proteins, Immune Checkpoint Proteins, Biological Target proteins

Molecular Weight

The secreted recombinant mouse CD48 consists of 205 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 23.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 45-60 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

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.
