Recombinant Human MUSK Protein, Fc tagged

• Cat.No.: MUSK-48H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human MUSK Protein (Leu24-Thr495) with Human IgG1 (Pro100-Lys330) Fc tag at C-terminus was expressed in Human embryonic kidney cell.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase receptor. The encoded protein may play a role in clustering of the acetylcholine receptor in the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
• Source: HEK293
• Species: Human
• Tag: C-Fc
• Protein length: 24-495aa
• Form: Disulfide-linked homodimer
• Bio-activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. In the presence of Recombinant Human Agrin, immobilized Recombinant Human MuSK Fc Chimera (2 μg/mL at 100 μL/well) binds Recombinant Human LRP-4 with an ED50 of 5-50 ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: 78 kDa
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg by LAL.
• Purity: > 95 %, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.
