Human CD28 Protein (Fc Tag)

Tp44

Catalog Number P11524-H02H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms Tp44
Molecular Weight The recombinant human CD28/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 375 amino acids and predictes a molecular mass of 42 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhCD28/Fc monomer is approximately 55-65 kDa due to glycosylation.
predicted N Asn 19
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the human CD28 isoform 1 (P10747-1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Pro 152) was was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

Background CD28 (Cluster of Differentiation 28) is a disulphide-bonded glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, and structurally consists of a single Ig V-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain. Mouse CD28 is constitutively expressed on the surface of all murine T cells and on developing thymocytes as disulfide-linked homodimers or as monomers. CD28 can binds the B7-1 and B7-2 ligand, and together perform important functions in the T and B cell response pathways. B7/CD28 family members, which can augment or antagonize T-cell receptor signaling, in the regulation of central and peripheral T-cell tolerance. CD28 is thus involved in T-cell activation, the induction of cell proliferation and cytokine production and promotion of T-cell survival.
