Monocyte differentiation antigen CD14 (CD14), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 20-345aa. Protein Length: Full Length of Mature Protein. Tag Info: N-terminal GST-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: TTPEPCELDD EDFRCVCNFS EPQPDWSEAF QCVSAVEVEI HAGGLNLEPF LKRVDADADP RQYADTVKAL RVRRLTVGAA QVPAQLLVGA LRVLAYSRLK ELTLEDLKIT GTMPPLPLEA TGLALSSLRL RNVSWATGRS WLAELQQWLK PGLKVLSIAQ AHSPAFSCEQ VRAFPALTSL DLSDNPGLGE RGLMAALCPH KFPAIQNLAL RNTGMETPTG VCAALAAAGV QPHSLDLSHN SLRATVNPSA PRCMWSSALN SLNLSFAGLE QVPKGLPAKL RVLDLSCNRL NRAPQPDELP EVDNLTLDGN PFLVPGTALP HEGSMN. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: In concert with LBP, binds to monomeric lipopolysaccharide and delivers it to the MD-2/TLR4 complex, thereby mediating the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules. Reference: The monocyte differentiation antigen, CD14, is anchored to the cell membrane by a phosphatidylinositol linkage.Haziot A., Chen S., Ferrero E., Low M.G., Silber R., Goyert S.M.J.
