Mouse KLRG1 Protein, His Tag (MALS & SPR verified)

The co-inhibitory receptor killer-cell lectin like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is specifically expressed on NK cells and activated CD8+ T-cells and has been postulated to be a marker of senescence. KLRG1+ T cells are a major reason of chronic tissue damage in some autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. In tumors, tumor cells which express E-cadherin or N-cadherin bind to KLRG1 and inhibit the antitumor activity of T and NK cells. Thus, KLRG1 acts as an immunocheckpoint inhibitory receptor.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 17.1 kDa. The protein migrates as 24-27 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.
