LTBR Protein, Cynomolgus, Recombinant (hFc Tag)

• Background:

  LTBR (lymphotoxin beta receptor (TNFR superfamily, member 3) ) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family of receptors. The tumor necrosis factor receptor is a trimeric cytokine receptor that binds tumor necrosis factors. The receptor cooperates with an adaptor protein (such as TRADD, TRAF, RIP), which is important in determining the outcome of the response. LTBR is expressed on the surface of most cell types, including cells of epithelial and myeloid lineages, but not on T and B lymphocytes. LTBR specifically binds the lymphotoxin membrane form (a complex of lymphotoxin-alpha and lymphotoxin-beta) . LTBR and its ligand play a role in the development and organization of lymphoid tissue and transformed cells. Activation of this protein can trigger apoptosis. Not only does the LTBR help trigger apoptosis, but it can also lead to the release of the cytokine interleukin 8. Overexpression of LTBR in HEK293 cells increases IL-8 promoter activity and leads to IL-8 release. It is also essential for the development and organization of the secondary lymphoid organs and chemokine release.

• Gene Name:

• Expression System:

  HEK293 Cells

• Tag:

  C-hFc

• Endotoxin:

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

• Purity:

  > 85 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity:

  At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

• Form:

  Lyophilized

• Buffer:

  Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. 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:

  Cytokine Proteins, TNF Superfamily proteins, Receptor Proteins

• Molecular Weight:

  The recombinant cynomolgus LTBR is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 439 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 48.8 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 64-70 KDa respectively in SDS-PAGE.

• 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.
