Canine ALK1 / ACVRL1 Protein (Fc Tag)

ACVRL1

Catalog Number P70049-D02H
Organism Species Canine
Host Human Cells
Synonyms ACVRL1
Molecular Weight The recombinant canine ACVRL1/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 339 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 37.9 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 43-47 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N Gly 22
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the canine ACVRL1(E2R174) (Met1-Gln119) was expressed with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity Measured by its ability to inhibit BMP9 induced alkaline phosphatase production by MC3T3-E1 cells.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 5-15 ng/mL in the presence of 2 ng/mL of recombinant human BMP-9.

Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Activin A receptor, type II-like 1 (ACVRL1), also known as ALK-1 (activin receptor-like kinase 1), is an endothelial-specific type I receptor of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) receptor family of ligands. On ligand binding, a heteromeric receptor complex forms consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. ACVRL1 protein is expressed in certain blood vessels of kidney, spleen, heart and intestine, serving as an important role during vascular development. Mutations in ACVRL1 gene are associated with hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2, also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome 2 and vascular disease.
