Recombinant Human LAIR1 Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: LAIR1 (Gln22-His163) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 41.6 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of LAIR1-hFc is approximately 35-70 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human LAIR1 Protein with C-terminal human Fc tagThe protein encoded by this gene is an inhibitory receptor found on peripheral mononuclear cells, including natural killer cells, T cells, and B cells. Inhibitory receptors regulate the immune response to prevent lysis of cells recognized as self. The gene is a member of both the immunoglobulin superfamily and the leukocyte-associated inhibitory receptor family. The gene maps to a region of 19q13.4 called the leukocyte receptor cluster, which contains at least 29 genes encoding leukocyte-expressed receptors of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein has been identified as an anchor for tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, and may induce cell death in myeloid leukemias. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
