£202.00

SKU:: PME100923
Additional Names:: CC-CKR-5;CCCKR5;CCR-5;CD195;CKR-5;CKR5;CMKBR5;IDDM22
Molecular Weight:: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 29.6 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of CCR5-hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.
Purity:: The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.
Storage Conditions:: Store at -20[o]C to -80[o]C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution; if not intended for use within a month; aliquot and store at -80[o]C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
Supplier:: DIMA Biotechnology Ltd
Formulation:: Lyophilized from sterile PBS; pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.
Target:: CCR5
CCR5(Met1-Ala30) hFc(Glu99-Ala330):: CCR5(Met1-Ala30) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)
Extra Details:: This gene encodes a member of the beta chemokine receptor family; which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. This protein is expressed by T cells and macrophages; and is known to be an important co-receptor for macrophage-tropic virus; including HIV; to enter host cells. Defective alleles of this gene have been associated with the HIV infection resistance. The ligands of this receptor include monocyte chemoattractant protein 2 (MCP-2); macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha); macrophage inflammatory protein 1 beta (MIP-1 beta) and regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted protein (RANTES). Expression of this gene was also detected in a promyeloblastic cell line; suggesting that this protein may play a role in granulocyte lineage proliferation and differentiation. This gene is located at the chemokine receptor gene cluster region. An allelic polymorphism in this gene results in both functional and non-functional alleles; the reference genome represents the functional allele. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq; Jul 2015]
