gp 6

Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is a 63 kDa platelet megakaryocyte-specific type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is an important collagen receptor and initiator of platelet activation, aggregation and thrombin generation. GPVI is also a secondary receptor required for platelet spreading on laminin. GPVI associates with the Fc receptor gamma -chain via charged aa in the TM domains of GPVI (arginine) and the FcR gamma (aspartic acid). Collagen binding by the GPVI Ig-like domains initiates signaling through the FcR gamma ITAM sequence. Dimerization of GPVI (2:2 with FcR gamma ) and N-glycosylation greatly enhances collagen binding. Type I and III collagens are strong thrombus-forming components in the vascular subendothelium and atherosclerotic plaques. GPVI initiates binding to fibrillar collagens under flow conditions, then activates integrin alpha 2 beta 1 which binds collagen more tightly. GPVI deficiencies cause only a mild bleeding tendency, probably because integrin alpha 2 beta 1 is able to minimally initiate collagen binding. Normal human GPVI concentration can vary widely and affect maximum thrombin generation. Engagement of GPVI by collagens or other agonists, including autoantibodies, causes calmodulin-regulated metalloproteinase cleavage of the 57 kDa ECD and depletes surface GPVI.

Although platelets are best known for their role in hemostasis, they are also crucial in development, host defense, inflammation, and tissue repair. Many of these roles are regulated by the immune-like receptors glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and C-type lectin receptor 2 (CLEC-2), which signal through an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). GPVI is activated by collagen in the subendothelial matrix, by fibrin and fibrinogen in the thrombus, and by a remarkable number of other ligands. GPVI Protein, Cynomolgus, Recombinant (His) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His tag. The predicted molecular weight is 26.42 kDa and the accession number is XP_005590417.2.

Recombinant PreScission Protease (rPSP) is a highly purified, restriction-grade 6×His-tagged protease derived from human rhinovirus 3C (HRV 3C). It specifically cleaves at the recognition sequence Leu-Glu-Val-Leu-Phe-Gln↓Gly-Pro (LEVLFQ↓GP), with the cleavage occurring between the Gln and Gly residues. This protease is commonly used to remove affinity tags from fusion proteins. rPSP functions optimally at 30 °C, but retains activity at temperatures as low as 4 °C. Cleavage efficiency may vary with different fusion proteins, so optimization of enzyme amount, incubation time, and temperature is recommended. The His-tag allows easy removal of the protease after digestion using Ni²⁺ affinity chromatography. The recombinant enzyme consists of 217 amino acids, has a molecular mass of approximately 24 kDa, and is produced through proprietary purification methods. It is fully biologically active.

gp130 IL6ST Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with hFc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 94.4 kDa and the accession number is AAA59155.1.
