Human MMGT1 / EMC5 Protein (His Tag)

EMC5,TMEM32

Catalog Number P13998-H07H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms EMC5,TMEM32
Molecular Weight The recombinant human MMGT1 comprises 86 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 10.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 23-29 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N His

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 MMGT1, also known as EMC5, is comparable with primary microglial cells with respect to morphology, presence of acetylated low density lipoprotein receptor, non-specific esterase, CD63, major histocompatibility complex antigens and CD11, and binding for Ricinus communis agglutinin. Primary microglia as well as MMGT1 cells are negative for glial fibrillary acidic protein. Different MMGT1 strains are obtained after subcloning, two of which resembled histiocytes (F4/80 and BM-8). These cell strains, MMGT12 and 16, are able to opsonize latex beads, and could be induced by endotoxins (LPS) to secrete TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, TGF-beta, and EGF.
