HCoV-NL63 S protein, His Tag

Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) is one of seven known coronaviruses to infect humans. The virus is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus which enters its host cell by binding to ACE2. Infection with the virus has been confirmed worldwide, and has an association with many common symptoms and diseases. The spike protein of HCoV-NL63 is a trimer protruding from the viral membrane to engage cellular receptors and mediate viral fusion with host membranes. Each spike trimer contains two large regions: N-terminal S1 responsible for receptor binding and C-terminal S2 responsible for fusion.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 146.9 kDa. The protein migrates as 200-240 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.
