MCP-4 Recombinant Protein

Product Specifications

Background

The MCP proteins belong to the CC chemokine family, and signal through CCR2 and, with the exception of MCP-1, other CCR receptors. The MCP proteins chemoattract and activate monocytes, activated T cells, basophils, NK cells, and immature dendritic cells. The MCP family cross- reacts across species. Recombinant murine MCP-2 is an 8.6 kDa protein containing 75 amino acid residues including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in the CC chemokines.

Storage Conditions

The lyophilized MCP-4 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted MCP-4 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing MCP-4 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.
