• Cat.No.: CD44-3095HAF555
• Product Overview: Alexa Fluor 555 conjugated recombinant human CD44 (Gln21-Pro220) protein (HPLC-verified) was fused to human IgG1 Fc tag at C-terminus and expressed in human 293 cells (HEK293).

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: Fc
• Protein Length: Gln21-Pro220
• Description: CD44 antigen is a cell-surface glycoprotein involved in cell–cell interactions, cell adhesion and migration. CD44 is expressed in a large number of mammalian cell types. CD44 is a receptor for hyaluronic acid and can also interact with other ligands, such as osteopontin, collagens, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). CD44 function is controlled by its posttranslational modifications. One critical modification involves discrete sialofucosylations rendering the selectin-binding glycoform of CD44 called HCELL (for Hematopoietic Cell E-selectin/L-selectin Ligand). CD44 participates in a wide variety of cellular functions including lymphocyte activation, recirculation and homing, hematopoiesis, and tumor metastasis. Transcripts for this gene undergo complex alternative splicing that results in many functionally distinct isoforms.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Molecular Mass: This protein has a calculated MW of 48.7 kDa. The reducing (R) protein migrates as 76 kDa in SDS-PAGE due to glycosylation.
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: Gln 21
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU/ μg by the LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Characteristic: Disulfide-linked homodimer
  Labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 via amines
  With an excitation and emission maximum of 555/565 nm, Alexa Fluor 555 can be efficiently excited using a 543 nm He-Ne laser line and detected under standard TRITC/Cy3 filters.
• Storage: For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20 centigrade or lower.
  Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 to -70 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state;
  -70 centigrade for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in Tris with Glycine, Arginine and NaCl, pH7.5, 10% trehalose.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.2 μg/μL. Centrifuge the vial at 4 centigrade before opening to recover the entire contents.
