Mouse CD14 Protein (His & Fc Tag)

CD14

• 100ug (NPP3207) Please inquiry

Catalog Number	P50023-M03H
Organism Species	Mouse
Host	Human Cells
Synonyms	CD14
Molecular Weight	The recombinant mouse CD14/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer after removal of the signal peptide. The reduced monomer consists of 578 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 63.5 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rm CD14/Fc monomer is approximately 85-95 kDa due to glycosylation.
predicted N	Ser 16
SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Pro 345) of mouse CD14 (NP_033971.1) precursor was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity
Research Area	Immunology |Inflammation / Inflammatory Mediator |Cells Involved in Inflammation |Myeloid-derived Suppressor Cells (MDSC)
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	The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. Cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) is a member of the CD system. It takes its name from its inclusion in the CD molecule surface marker proteins. CD14 exists in two forms: a form anchored into the membrane or a soluble form. CD14 was found expressed in macrophages, neutrophil granulocyte and dendritic cells. The major function is serve as a co-receptor (along with TLR4 and MD-2) for the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other pathogen-associated molecular patterns.
