| Formulation |
VCAM1 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Inactivation |
Protein quantitation was carried out by: UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.8 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). |
| Description |
VCAM1 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 685 amino acids (25-698 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 75.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa). VCAM1 is expressed with a 11 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
VCAM1 is a member of the Ig superfamily. It is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine activated endothelium. VCAM-1 contains 6 or 7 immunoglobulin domains, and is expressed on both large and small vessels only after the endothelial cells are stimulated by cytokines. The protein has a number of functions including the regulation of leukocyte migration, leukocyte endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction and may play a role in a number of inflammatory diseases (artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis). |
| Expression host |
Sf9, Baculovirus cells. |
| Synonyms |
Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1, CD106 Antigen, INCAM-100 , Vascular Cell Adhesion Protein 1, V-CAM 1, VCAM-1, CD106, L1CAM. |
| 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. |
