| Description |
ICAM2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 225 amino acids (22-223) and having a molecular mass of 24.8 kDa.ICAM2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-2 (ICAM2) belongs to the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, containing 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. The ICAM2 protein has a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. ICAM2 mediates adhesive interactions vital for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and additional cellular interactions essential for immune response and surveillance. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 2, ICAM2, ICAM-2, CD102, CD102 Antigen. |
| 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. |
