ALCAM (CD166) Mouse

Source:Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Physical Appearance:Sterile filtered colorless solution.Biological ActivityMeasured by its ability to block the adhesion of Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cells to immobilized Recombinant Human CD6. When cells are added to 1 ug/ml of mouse ALCAM binded to CD6, this effect is more to 50%.CD166 antigen isoform 2 (ALCAM) is a type 1 membrane glycoprotein and belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ALCAM is expressed on thymic epithelium, microvascular endothelium, activated lymphocytes and monocytes, and monocyte-derived dendritic cells. CD166 and CD6 interaction plays a role in T cell development and T cell regulation, as well as in the binding of T cells and B cells to activated leukocytes.ALCAM mouse produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 739 amino acids (28-527a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 83.1kDa. ALCAM is expressed with a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-Tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
