Name :
Transferrin R/CD71 Protein

Description :
The transferrin receptor (CD71) is known as a receptor for IgA1 on mesangial cells. The transcript and protein expression of glomerular CD71 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Human mesangial cells (HMCs) were treated with sera from IgAN patients and expression levels of CD71 and inflammatory cytokine markers were compared according to disease status.

Species :
Human

Uniprotkb :
HEK293

Tag :
C-hFc

Synonyms :
sTfR, CD71, TfR1, TFR, p90, TFRC, TR, T9

Construction :
Recombinant Human Transferrin R/CD71 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Cys89-Phe760.[Accession |P02786-1]

Protein Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 101.8 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 105-115 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Formulatione :
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.
