Spondin 2 Recombinant Protein

Spondin-2, also referred to as mindin, belongs to the F-spondin family of secreted extracellular matrix proteins. Spondins are characterised by the presence of F-spondin domains 1 and 2 (FS1 and FS2) at the N-terminus and a thrombospondin-type 1 repeat (TSR1) domain at the C-terminus. Spondin-2 functions as a pattern-recognition molecule for bacterial and viral pathogens and as an integrin ligand for inflammatory cell recruitment and T cell priming. In addition to its roles in promoting neuron outgrowth and inhibiting both cancer and angiogenesis, Spondin-2 plays an important role in the initiation of the immune response and is involved in inflammatory processes.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
