CXCL16 Recombinant Protein

CXCL16 is a member of the CXC chemokine family and signals through the CXCR6 receptor. CXCL16 may play a role in attracting lymphocyte subsets during inflammation and may facilitate certain immune responses. The chemokine domain of CXCL16 contains six cysteine residues including the four highly conserved cysteine residues characteristic of CXC chemokines. The CXCL16 gene codes for a 273 amino acid polypeptide, which includes a 29 amino acid cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane sequence containing approximately 20 amino acids. The extracellular portion of CXCL16 contains a chemokines domain and an extended C-terminal ?mucin-like stalk? sequence. The extracellular domain contains 89 amino acid residues (86 a.a. residues for the murine homolog) . Recombinant murine CXCL16 is a 9.9 kDa protein containing 88 amino acid residues.

The lyophilized CXCL16 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted CXCL16 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing CXCL16 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
