TROP-2 / TACSTD2 Recombinant Protein

TROP-2 is a single-copy gene in human cells, and encodes a type-1 transmembrane glycoprotein which is over-expressed in various malignancies, also referred to as tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2), GA733-1 or M1S1. TROP-2 is related to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), also called TROP-1, gp40, and KSA. Trop-1 and Trop-2 are homologous to serum IGF-II-binding proteins and appear as signal transducers. Thus, they likely represent novel cell-surface receptors and may play a role in regulating the growth of carcinoma cells.

Lyophilized Protein should be stored at -20˚ C or lower for long term storage. Upon reconstitution, working aliquots should be stored at -20˚ C or -70˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 29.9 kDa. The protein migrates as 38-48 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to Glycosylation.
