J chain Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Immunoglobulin J chain, also known as IGJ and IGCJ, is a secreted polypeptide which is the first immunoglobulin-related polypeptide expressed during the embryogenesis and differentiation of B cells in the fetal liver. The joining Immunoglobulin J chain is a small polypeptide, expressed by mucosal and glandular plasma cells, which regulates polymer formation of immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgM. Immunoglobulin J chain / IGJ serves to link two monomer units of either IgM or IgA. In the case of IgM, the J chain-joined dimer is a nucleating unit for the IgM pentamer, and in the case of IgA, it induces larger polymers. Immunoglobulin J chain / IGJ also helps to bind these immunoglobulins to the secretory component. J-chain incorporation into polymeric IgA (pIgA, mainly dimers) and pentameric IgM endows these antibodies with several salient features. Immunoglobulin J chain / IGJ is involved in creating the binding site for pIgR / SC in the Ig polymers, not only by determining the polymeric quaternary structure but also by interacting directly with the receptor protein. Both the immunoglobulin J chain / IGJ and the pIgR/SC are key proteins in secretory immunity.

Formulation	Lyophilized from a solution filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, containing PBS, pH 8.0.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℃. For reconstituted proteinsolutions, 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.
