Carbonic Anhydrase IX Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

• Background:

  Carbonic anhydrases IX (CA IX), also known as membrane antigen MN or CA9, is a member of the carbonic anhydrase (CA) family and may be involved in cell proliferation and cellular transformation. CAs are zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide (H2O + CO2 = H+ + HCO3–) and thus participate in a variety of biological and physical processes. CA IX protein is expressed primarily in carcinoma cells lines, and the expression is cell density dependent and has been shown to be strongly induced by hypoxia, accordingly facilitates adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxic conditions. It is involved in tumorigenesis through many pathways, such as pH regulation and cell adhesion control. CA IX is used as a marker of tumor hypoxia and as a new therapeutic target for many human carcinomas and cancers.

• Endotoxin:

  < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

• Purity:

  > 90 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  Measured by its esterase activity. The specific activity is >50 pmoles/min/μg, as measured with 1 mM 4-Nitrophenyl acetate and 1 μg enzyme at 400 nm in 100 μL of 12.5 mM Tris, 75 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.

• Form:

  Lyophilized

• Buffer:

  Lyophilized from sterile 100mM Glycine, 10mM NaCl, 50mM Tris, pH 7.5 Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

• Function:

  Biological Target proteins, Diagnostic proteins, Enzyme Proteins, Biomarker Proteins, CAR T Cell Therapy Target Proteins, Cancer proteins, Immunotherapy proteins

• Molecular Weight:

  The recombinant human CA9/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer consists of 615 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 67.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rh CA9/Fc monomer is approximately 80-90 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

• Storage Conditions:

  In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
