Introduction
LY86 is a protein crucial for the proper display of CD180 on cell surfaces. It is abundantly present in B-cells, tonsils, and monocytes. Working in conjunction with TLR4 and CD180, LY86 contributes to the body's defense mechanism against bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by triggering an immune response and cytokine production.
Description
This product consists of a single chain of 165 amino acids (specifically, positions 21 to 162), representing the LY86 protein. Produced recombinantly in E. coli, it is non-glycosylated and has a molecular weight of 18.1 kDa. For purification and detection purposes, a 23 amino acid His-tag is attached to the N-terminus.
Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The LY86 solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.4M Urea, and 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to four weeks), keep the vial refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%). Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity
SDS-PAGE analysis indicates a purity exceeding 85%.
