MFGE8 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & Avi), Biotinylated

MFG-E8, also known as lactadherin and MFGE8, contains 1 EGF-like domain and 2 F5/8 type C domains. It also contains phosphatidylserine (PS) binding domain, as well as an Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid motif, which enables the binding to integrins. It binds PS, which is exposed on the surface of apoptotic cells. MFG-E8 is expressed in mammary epithelial cell surfaces and aortic media. Overexpression of MFG-E8 can be found in several carcinomas. MFG-E8 has opsonization of the apoptotic cells and binding to integrins on the surface of phagocytic cells. It also mediates the engulfment of the dead cell. MFG-E8 plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. It promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization and contributes to the phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in many tissues. It also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner.

Description

Species	Human
Expression System	Baculovirus-Insect Cells
Tag	His,AVI
Accession Number	Q08431.2
Synonyms	HsT19888, SPAG10, MFGM, MFG-E8, OAcGD3S, milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein, hP47, SED1, EDIL1, BA46, HMFG
Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the human MFGE8 (Q08431.2) (Met1-Cys387) was expressed with a c-terminal polyhistidine tagged AVI tag at the C-terminus. The expressed protein was biotinylated in vivo by the Biotin-Protein ligase (BirA enzyme) which is co-expressed.
Protein Purity	> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Molecular Weight	44.1 kDa (predicted)

Endotoxin	< 1.0 EU per μg protein as determined by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.5, 10 % glycerol, 0. 2 M Arginine, 0. 01 % Tween-20. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0. 01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.
Reconstitution	A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
Stability & Storage	Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated 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.
