HepaCAM2

Catalog Number P80242-R08H
Organism Species Rat
Host Human Cells
Synonyms HepaCAM2
Molecular Weight The recombinant rat HepaCAM2 comprises 329 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 36.7 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 60 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Leu 33
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the rat HepaCAM2 (B5DEN8) (Met1-Leu350) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

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 HepaCAM2 belongs to the immunoglobulin family. HepaCAM2, together with HEPACAM1, are cell adhesion molecules. HEPACAM1 modulates cell adhesion and migration. It also inhibits cancer cell growth. HepaCAM2 contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. The immunoglobulin domain is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of between 7 and 9 antiparallel β-strands arranged in two β-sheets with a Greek key topology. Members of the immunoglobulin superfamily are found in hundreds of proteins of different functions.
