Introduction
CD47 is a cell surface receptor that plays a role in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, immune modulation, and memory formation. It interacts with thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) on platelets, modulates integrin activity, and participates in synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. CD47 also acts as a receptor for SIRPA, regulating dendritic cell maturation and cytokine production. Moreover, it protects red blood cells from premature elimination and is involved in membrane permeability changes during viral infection.
Description
Recombinant human CD47, expressed in Sf9 insect cells, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 362 amino acids (residues 19-141). It has a molecular weight of 40.9 kDa and appears between 40-57 kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. The protein is fused to a 239 amino acid hIgG-His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless liquid solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation
The CD47 protein is provided as a 0.5 mg/ml solution in Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For long-term storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for extended storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity is greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The biological activity of recombinant human CD47 is determined by its ability to bind to human SIRP alpha/CD172a (cat# pro-2080) in a functional ELISA assay. The ED50 for this interaction is approximately 100 ng/ml.
