Biotinylated Human ULBP-1 Protein 4722

Additional Information:
express systemHEK293|product tagC-His-Avi|purity> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE;> 95% as determined by HPLC|backgroundCell surface proteins major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related chain A (MICA) and UL16-binding proteins (ULBP) 1, 2, and 3 are up-regulated upon infection or tumor transformation and can activate human natural killer (NK) cells.|molecular weightThe protein has a predicted MW of 25.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 28-35 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.|available size100 g, 500 g|endotoxinLess than 1EU per g by the LAL method.|Biotinylated Human ULBP-1 Protein 4722proteinSize and concentration100, 500g and lyophilizedFormLyophilizedStorage InstructionsValid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.Storage bufferShipped at ambient temperature.Purity> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGEtarget relevanceCell surface proteins major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related chain A (MICA) and UL16-binding proteins (ULBP) 1, 2, and 3 are up-regulated upon infection or tumor transformation and can activate human natural killer (NK) cells.Protein namesUL16-binding protein 1 (ALCAN-beta) (NKG2D ligand 1) (N2DL-1) (NKG2DL1) (Retinoic acid early transcript 1I)Gene namesULBP1,ULBP1 N2DL1 RAET1IProtein familyMHC class I familyMass9606DaFunctionBinds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity.Subellular locationCell membrane ; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Endoplasmic reticulum. Note=In CMV-infected fibroblasts, detected in the endoplasmic reticulum/cis-Golgi.TissuesExpressed in T-cells, B-cells, erythroleukemia cell lines and in a wide range of tissues including heart, brain, lung, liver, testis, lymph node, thymus, tonsil and bone marrow. Also found in fetal heart, brain, lung and liver.StructureInteracts with KLRK1/NKG2D (PubMed:11777960). Does not bind to beta2-microglobulin (PubMed:12782710).; (Microbial infection) In CMV-infected cells, interacts with the viral glycoprotein UL16; this interaction causes ULBP1 retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and cis-Golgi and prevents binding to and activation of KLRK1/NKG2D, providing CMV with an immune evasion mechanism.Target Relevance information above includes information from UniProt accession: Q9BZM6The UniProt Consortium|
