Background
Monocyte chemotactic protein MCP-2 is a C-C chemokine.It shares over 60% amino acid identity with MCP-1 and MCP-3 and has about 30% identity with other C-C chemokines MIP-1alpha, RANTES, and MIP-1beta. MCP-2 is chemotactic for and activates a wide variety of inflammatory cells, and its spectrum of action on leukocytes is similar to that of MCP-3, including monocytes, T lymphocytes, NK cells, basophils, mast cells, and eosinophils, but differs from MCP-1, which is not active on eosinophils. MCP-2 has been proposed to interact with multiple C-C chemokine receptors, including those used by MCP- 1 and MCP-3. However, since leukocytes express a multiplicity of chemokine receptors with promiscuous binding and functional properties, it is difficult to identify the receptors used by a given ligand on these cells.
Description
Recombinant MCP-2 is a disulfide-linked monomeric protein consisting of 77 amino acid residues and migrates as an approximately 9 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding human MCP-2 (CCL8) mature chain was expressed inE. coli.
UniProt
P80075
Endotoxin
< 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.
Purity
≥ 98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Format
Lyophilized protein
Reconstitution
Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.
Shipping Conditions
Gel Packs or Dry Ice
Storage Conditions
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Calculated Molecular Weight
9 kDa
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered 20 mM Phosphate buffer, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.
