Product Overview
Tag | His&Fc |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | NP_002153.2 |
Synonym | CD50, CDW50, ICAM-3, ICAM-R |
Background | The protein ICAM-3, also known as CD5, is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family consisting three members. It is a DC-SIGN ligand that is constitutively expressed on resting leukocytes, and is thus an important molecule for the first immune response. ICAM-3 comprises of five immunoglobulin-like domains, and binds LFA-1 through its two N-terminal domains. It functions not only as an adhesion molecule, but also as a potent signalling molecule. ICAM-3 binds to LFA-1 on antigen-presenting cells (APC) stabilizing the T cell-APC interaction, facilitating signaling through the CD3/TCR complex. However, recent evidence using cultured and transformed T cells suggests ICAM-3 may also function in signaling. It has been reported that CD5 molecule can play a role in developing functionally mature T lymphocytes and its expression increases during the maturation process of T lymphocytes. In addition, the interactions of ICAM-3 and LFA-1 facilitate HIV-1- induced virological synapse formation between T cells. ICAM-3 is associated with an increase of cellular radio-resistance and cancer cell proliferation. It could be considered as a candidate for anti-cancer drug development and as a cancer diagnostic marker. |
Description | The extracellular domain (Met 1-His 485) of human ICAM3 (NP_002153.2) precursor was fused with the C-terminal His-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Gln 30 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-His 485 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant human ICAM3/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 703 a.a. and predicts a molecular mass of 77.2 kDa. By SDS-PAGE, the apparent molecular mass of rh ICAM3/Fc is approximately 125-135 kDa due to the glycosylation. |
Purity | >97% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of PMA-stimulated HSB2 human peripheral blood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. When cells are added to ICAM3-coated plates (12.5 ug/ml, 100 ul/well), approximately 45%-60% will adhere specifically. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
