Form

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4, 5 % trehalose and 5 % mannitol.

Molecular Mass

Recombinant Human CD44/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 441 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 49.1 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 76 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per 1 microgram of protein (determined by LAL method).

Purity

> 90 % by SDS-PAGE.

Storage

In lyophilized state for 1 year (4°C); After reconstitution under sterile conditions for 3 months (-70°C). Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile distilled water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.

Warning

For research use only!

Background

Receptor for hyaluronic acid (HA). Mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions through its affinity for HA, and possibly also through its affinity for other ligands such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Adhesion with HA plays an important role in cell migration, tumor growth and progression. In cancer cells, may play an important role in invadopodia formation. Also involved in lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, and in hematopoiesis. Altered expression or dysfunction causes numerous pathogenic phenotypes. Great protein heterogeneity due to numerous alternative splicing and post-translational modification events. Receptor for LGALS9; the interaction enhances binding of SMAD3 to the FOXP3 promoter, leading to up-regulation of FOXP3 expression and increased induced regulatory T (iTreg) cell stability and suppressive function (By similarity).
