4-1BB Protein (Cynomolgus), hFc Tag

Description: Recombinant Cynomolgus 4-1BB protein with C-terminal human Fc tag Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contributes to the clonal expansion, survival, and development of T cells. It can also induce proliferation in peripheral monocytes, enhance T cell apoptosis induced by TCR/CD3 triggered activation, and regulate CD28 co-stimulation to promote Th1 cell responses. The expression of this receptor is induced by lymphocyte activation. TRAF adaptor proteins have been shown to bind to this receptor and transduce the signals leading to activation of NF-kappaB. Molecular Characterization: mass of 43.4 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of c4-1BB-hFc is approximately 55-70 kDa due to glycosylation. Tag: C-Human Fc tag
