Complement Factor D/CFD Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

Complement factor D is a serine protease essential for the activation of the alternative pathway and is expressed in the kidney, adipocytes, and macrophages. Factor D is found at relatively high levels in glomeruli suggesting that this component of the complement cascade could influence renal pathophysiology.Complement factor D or alternative pathway activation is needed to prevent spontaneous accumulation of C3 and IgM deposits within the mesangium.

Description

Species	Human
Expression System	HEK293
Tag	C-hFc
Accession Number	P00746-1
Synonyms	C3 convertase activator, DF, AMBP-1, EC 3.4.21, EC 3.4.21.46, Adipsin, CFD, ADN, PFD, Complement factor D, FACTOR D
Construction	Recombinant Human Complement Factor D/CFD Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Ile26-Ala253.[Accession \|P00746-1]
Protein Purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE
Molecular Weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 51.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 52-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Stability & Storage	-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -20 to -80°C for 3-6 months in unopened state after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping	In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
