Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Rat |
Accession | ABO70343.1 |
Background | The Fc receptor with low affinity for IgG (FCGR3, or CD16) is encoded by 2 nearly identical genes, FCGR3A and FCGR3B, resulting in tissue-specific expression of alternative membrane-anchored isoforms. FCGR3A, it is also known as CD16a, encodes a transmembrane protein expressed on activated monocytes/macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and a subset of T cells.CD16a / FCGR3A is a receptor expressed on NK cells that facilitates antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to the Fc portion of various antibodies. CD16a / FCGR3A also has a broader function. CD16a / FCGR3A is directly involved in the lysis of some virus-infected cells and tumor cells by NK cells, independent of antibody binding. Cross-linking of CD16a / FCGR3A on NK cells resulted in increased intracellular Ca2+ levels and a cascade of biochemical events similar to those activated by the T cell receptor. CD16a / FCGR3A on human NK cells is a lysis receptor that mediates the direct killing of some virus infected and tumor cells, independent of antibody ligation. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the rat FCGR3A (ABO70343.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Pro 200) was expressed, fused with a His tag at the C-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Leu 22 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Pro 200 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant rat FCGR3A comprises 190 a.a. and predicts a molecular mass of 21.7 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the rat FCGR3A is approximately 28-33 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to 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 its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized rat FCGR3A-His at 10 ug/ml (100 ul/well) can bind biotinylated human IgG1, The EC50 of biotinylated human IgG1 is 59.0-139.0 ng/ml. |
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. |
