Human TETHERIN / BST2 / CD317 Protein (His Tag)

CD317,TETHERIN

Catalog Number	P13370-H07H
Organism Species	Human
Host	Human Cells
Synonyms	CD317,TETHERIN
Molecular Weight	The recombinant human BST2 comprises 132 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 14.9 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 23-26 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N	His
SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the human BST2 (Q10589) (Asn49-Ser160) was expressed, with an N-terminal polyhistidine tag.
Bio-activity
Research Area	Cardiovascular \|Blood \|Other in Blood
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.
