Mediates the entry of L.monocytogenes into host intestinal epithelial cells; transformation with inlA alone allows L.innocua (a non-invasive species) to be taken up by host cells (PubMed:1905979, PubMed:8601315, PubMed:10406800) . Binds to human receptor cadherin-1 (E-cadherin, CDH1) ; the chicken homolog of cadherin-1 but not cadherin-2 function as receptors (PubMed:8601315) . Mouse cadherin-1 is not a receptor, however mutating a single surface-exposed residue (Glu-172 to Pro in mouse) allows cadherin-1 to act as a receptor for InlA (PubMed:10406800) .

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

"E-cadherin is the receptor for internalin, a surface protein required for entry of L. monocytogenes into epithelial cells." Mengaud J., Ohayon H., Gounon P., Mege R.M., Cossart P. Cell 84:923-932 (1996)

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
