| Molecular Weight | The soluble form of recombinant human PIGR consists of 630 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide and has a predicted molecular mass of 69 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, it migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 80-90 kDa due to glycosylation. |

| Purity | > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Arg 638, 365 Ser/Gly) of human PIGR (NP_002635.2) was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag. |
| Bio-activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA . 1. Immobilized rhhuman IgM at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated PIGR with a linear range of 0.94-15 ng/ml. 2. When human human IgM is immobilized at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well), PIGR inhibits 50% binding of biotinylated PIGR (0.062 μg/ml) at the concentration range of 0.03-20 μg/ml. |

| Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA. |
| Background | Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, also known as PIGR, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a Fc receptor. The ectodomain of this receptor consists of five units with homology to the variable units of immunoglobulins and a transmembrane region, which also has some homology to certain immunoglobulin variable regions. PIGR is expressed on several glandular epithelia including those of liver and breast. The deduced amino-acid sequence has a length of 764 residues and shows an overall similarity of 56% and 64% with the rabbit and rat counterpart. PIGR mediates transcellular transport of polymeric immunoglobulin molecules, and thus facilitates the secretion of IgA and IgM. During this process, a cleavage occurs that separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment of PIGR. |
