Name : Human MASP2 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human MASP2 Protein is expressed from E.coli with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Gly288-Phe686.[Accession | O00187-1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 46.9 kDa. Due to autocatalytic cleavage, the protein migrates to 18 kDa&25-30 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 200mM NaCl (pH 9.0). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human MASP2 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Human MASP2, His Tag at 0.2μg/ml (100μl/Well). Dose response curve for Anti-MASP2 Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 4.8ng/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test). SPR Data Anti-MASP2 Antibody captured on CM5 Chip via Protein A can bind Human MASP2, His Tag with an affinity constant of 3.08 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).

Background :
The pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory disease syndrome (SARS) is not fully understood. One case-control study has reported an association between susceptibility to SARS and mannan-binding lectin (MBL) in China. As the downstream protein of MBL, variants of the MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP2) gene may be associated with SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection in the same population.

Synonyms :
MAP19; MASP-2; MASP1P1; sMap
