CTLA4 Mouse

Source: Sf9 Insect cells. Sterile filtered colorless solution. CTLA-4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and encodes a protein which transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. The protein contains a V domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. The membrane-bound isoform functions as a homodimer interconnected by a disulfide bond, while the soluble isoform functions as a monomer. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ins.-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, and other autoimmune diseases. CTLA4 Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 363 amino acids (38-161aa) and having a molecular mass of 40.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa) .CTLA4 is fused to a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
