FITC-Labeled Human NCAM-1 / CD56 Protein, His Tag

NCAM1 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of adhesion molecules. A wide range of alternatively spliced NCAM1 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) has been described to date, but only the 120-, 140-, and 180- kDa isoforms are commonly expressed. NCAM1 plays an important role in the regulation of neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth, proliferation, and cell migration, however, its function in hematopoiesis, including NK cells, is poorly understood. NCAM1 signaling is mediated either by homophilic or heterophilic interactions with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), L1-CAM, N-cadherin and other components of the extracellular matrix. Upon activation, NCAM1 triggers a variety of signaling cascades including FYN–focal adhesion kinase (FAK), MAPK, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 79.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 90-116 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.
