Recombinant Human C2 protein, hFc-tagged

• Cat.No.: C2-7265H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human C2 protein(NP_000054.2)(Met1-Leu752), fused with hFc tag, was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: Fc
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human complement component C2/Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 970 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 110 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhC2/Fc monomer is approximately 110-130 kDa in reduced SDS-PAGE.
• Protein length: Met1-Leu752
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C
  Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 ug/ul. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.

Q&As

Can C2 protein be a target for drug development in autoimmune disorders?

Yes, drugs targeting C2 or the complement system are being explored as potential treatments for autoimmune diseases to regulate the immune response.

Can C2 protein be used as a diagnostic marker for immune system disorders?

Yes, the absence or dysfunction of C2 protein can be indicative of immune system disorders, and its levels can be assessed for diagnostic purposes.

Can C2 protein be used in vaccine development?

Understanding C2's role in immune activation may contribute to vaccine design, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of vaccines by targeting the complement system.

How does C2 protein contribute to autoimmune diseases?

Abnormal activation of the complement system, including C2, is associated with some autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells.

Are there genetic factors influencing C2 protein levels and function?

Yes, genetic variations can affect C2 protein expression and function, leading to variations in immune response among individuals.
