Mouse FLT3L / Flt3 ligand Protein (Fc Tag)

FLT3L

Catalog Number P51113-M02H
Organism Species Mouse
Host Human Cells
Synonyms FLT3L
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse FLT3L /Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 403 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 45.4 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 56 and 35 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Background FLT3L, also known as flt3 ligand, is a small molecule that acts as a growth factor that increases the number of immune cells by activating the hematopoietic progenitors. In vivo, FLT3L also induces the mobilization of the hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells. This may help the system to kill cancer cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) provide the key link between innate and adaptive immunity by recognizing pathogens and priming pathogen-specific immune responses. FLT3L controls the development of DCs and is particularly important for plasmacytoid DCs and CD8 -positive classical DCs and their CD103 -positive tissue counterparts.
