Name : Human CD1a Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human CD1a Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Asp19-Val300.[Accession | NP_001754.2 ]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 33.3 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 48-53 kDa and 13-14 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> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). 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 CD1a on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human CD1a is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
CD1 proteins are a family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-like antigen-presenting molecules that present lipids to T cells. The cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of all human CD1 isoforms, with the exception of CD1a, contain tyrosine-based sorting motifs, responsible for the internalization of proteins by the clathrin-mediated pathway. CD1a closer to MHC class I in its trafficking and potential antigen-loading compartments among CD1 isoforms.

Synonyms :
CD1a; CD1a; CD1; FCB6; HTA1; R4; T6
