| Description |
AICDA Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 218 amino acids (1-198) and having a molecular mass of 26.1kDa.AICDA is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AICDA) belongs to the the cytidine deaminase family. AICDA is involved in somatic hypermutation, gene conversion, and class-switch recombination in B-lymphocytes. AICDA is necessary for a number of crucial steps of B-cell terminal differentiation needed for efficient antibody responses. AICDA has a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression by participating in DNA demethylation. AICDA is strongly expressed in the lymph nodes and tonsils. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase, Activation-induced cytidine deaminase, Cytidine aminohydrolase, AICDA, AID, ARP2, CDA2, HIGM2. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
