Human Integrin alpha X beta 2 (ITGAX&ITGB2) Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free

The integrin αXβ2 takes a key role in host defense and functions as a receptor for the complement C3 cleavage product iC3b, fibrinogen, denatured proteins, and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) -1. Integrin αXβ2 αXβ2 has a unique cellular distribution with expression on monocytes, macrophages, and the CD8− subsets of dendritic cells and involves in priming and regulation of the immune response.

Human ITGAX&ITGB2 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGAX and ITGB2, has a calculated MW of 126.5 kDa (ITGAX) and 80.2 kDa (ITGB2) . Subunit ITGAX is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB2 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The protein migrates as 145 kDa (ITGAX) and 90 kDa (ITGB2) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under non-reducing (NR) 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.
