Cynomolgus NKG2C / CD159c Protein, His Tag

Human NKG2C (NK cell Group 2 isoform C; Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily C, member 2) is a member of the C-type lectin-like superfamily of proteins. NKG2C plays a role as a receptor for the recognition of MHC class I HLA-E molecules by NK cells and some cytotoxic T-cells. The CD94/NKG2C killer lectin-like receptor (KLR) specific for HLA-E is coupled to the KARAP/DAP12 adapter in a subset of NK cells, triggering their effector functions. CD94/NKG2C may operate as an alternative activation pathway for a subset of CD8+ T lymphocytes, triggering their effector functions and proliferation upon specific ligand engagement.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 17.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 25 kDa, 27-30 kDa and 35-110 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
