LAG3

Catalog Number P80367-R08H
Organism Species Rat
Host Human Cells
Synonyms LAG3
Molecular Weight The recombinant rat LAG3 comprises 430 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 47.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 55 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Gly 24
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the rat LAG3 (Q5BK54)(Met1-Leu442) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Formulation Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM NaAc, 500 mM NaCl, 10 % Glycerol, 0.02 % tween 20, pH 5.5.
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background LAG3, also known as CD223 and Lymphocyte activation gene 3, belongs to immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. LAG3 contains 4 extracellular Ig-like domains. The LAG3 gene contains 8 exons. It is selectively expressed in activated T and NK cells. LAG3 has a negative regulatory function in T cells. It also acts as as a new marker of T cell induced B cell activation. As a soluble molecule, LAG3 activates antigen-presenting cells through MHC class II signalling, leading to increased antigen-specific T-cell responses in vivo.
