Cynomolgus CD8 alpha&beta (CD8A&CD8B) Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (MALS verified)

Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. CD8A forms disulfide-linked heterodimers with CD8B at the cell surface. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells. Additionally, CD8B plays a critical role in thymic selection of CD8+ T-cells. A palmitoylation site in the cytoplasmic tail of CD8B chain contributes to partitioning of CD8 into the plasma membrane lipid rafts where signaling proteins are enriched.

Background

Specifications

Cynomolgus CD8A&CD8B Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of CD8 alpha and CD8 beta, has a calculated MW of 23.7 kDa (CD8 alpha) and 21.1 kDa (CD8 beta) . Subunit CD8 alpha is fused with with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus and subunit CD8 beta contains no tag. The protein migrates as 30-35 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
