Integrin alpha V beta 8 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Catalog No. TMPY-05717

Integrin alpha V beta 8 is a receptor for fibronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. ITGAVB8 does not appear to assume different activation states; and the cytoplasmic tail does not connect to the cytoskeleton. It binds ligands containing an RGD motif; including vitronectin; fibrin and the latency associated peptide (LAP) of the latent TGF-beta complex. High affinity binding of alpha V beta 8 to LAP allows proteolytic cleavage by MT1-MMP; which releases active TGF-beta. This mechanism differs from that of alpha V beta 6; the other alpha V integrin which can activate TGF-beta from latency through non-proteolytic mechanisms.

ITGAVB8 does not appear to assume different activation states; and the cytoplasmic tail does not connect to the cytoskeleton. It binds ligands containing an RGD motif; including vitronectin; fibrin and the latency associated peptide (LAP) of the latent TGF-beta complex. High affinity binding of alpha V beta 8 to LAP allows proteolytic cleavage by MT1-MMP; which releases active TGF-beta. This mechanism differs from that of alpha V beta 6; the other alpha V integrin which can activate TGF-beta from latency through non-proteolytic mechanisms.
Species	Human
Expression System	HEK293 Cells
Tag	C-His
Accession Number	P06756&P26012
Synonyms	Integrin α V β 8,Integrin alpha V β8
Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met1-Val992) of human ITGAV (P06756) was fused with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag was expressed., constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met1-Arg684) of human ITGB8 (P26012) constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the human ITGAV&ITGB8 heterodimer was purified. Predicted N terminal: Phe31 & Glu43
Protein Purity	≥ 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE. ≥ 95 % as determined by SEC-HPLC.
Molecular Weight	187.95 kDa (predicted)
Endotoxin	< 1.0 EU/μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from a solution filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, containing PBS, pH 7.4. Typically, a mixture containing 5% to 8% trehalose, mannitol, and 0.01% Tween 80 is incorporated as a protective agent before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) containing reconstitution instructions is included with the products. Please refer to the CoA for detailed information.
Stability & Storage	It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.
Shipping	In general, Lyophilized powders are shipping with blue ice.
