HER3/ERBB3 Protein, Rhesus, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

ErbB3, also known as Her3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor3), is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This membrane-bound glycoprotein has a neuregulin binding domain but has not an active kinase domain., and therefore can not mediate the intracellular signal transduction through protein phosphorylation. However, its heterodimer with ErbB2 or other EGFR members responsible for tyrosine phosphorylation forms a receptor complex with high affinity, and initiates the related pathway which lead to cell proliferation or differentiation. ErbB3 has been shown to implicated in numerous cancers, including prostate, bladder, and breast tumors. This protein has different isoforms derived from alternative splicing variants, and among which, the secreted isoform lacking the intermembrane region modulates the activity of membrane-bound form.

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human NRG1 Alpha His (Cat:PH52207M2) at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind Rhesus HER3/ERBB3 hFc (Cat:PK54182M4), the ECof Rhesus HER3/ERBB3 hFc is 250-800 ng/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 recombinant Rhesus ErbB3/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 865 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 95.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, rhesus ErbB3/Fc monomer migrates as an approximately 130-140 kDa band 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.

A DNA sequence encoding the Rhesus (Macaca mulatta) ErbB3 (XP_001113953.2) extracellular domain (Met 1-Thr 643) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
