MIP-5 Recombinant Protein

MIP-5 is a CC chemokine that is expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland. MIP-5 primarily signals through he CCR1 receptor, but also has been found to bind to CCR3. MIP-5 is chemotactic towards T cells and monocytes. Recombinant human MIP-5 is a 10.1 kDa protein containing 92 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

The lyophilized MIP-5 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted MIP-5 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing MIP-5 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.
