Description

ALCAM/CD166 protein is a multifunctional cell adhesion molecule involved in various cell-cell interactions. It promotes T cell activation and immune synapse formation by interacting with CD6. ALCAM/CD166 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived ALCAM/CD166 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of ALCAM/CD166 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is 500 a.a., with molecular weight of 68-95 kDa.

Background

ALCAM/CD166 Protein is a cell adhesion molecule that plays multiple roles in cell-cell interactions. It mediates both heterotypic contacts through its interaction with CD6 and homotypic contacts. Its interaction with CD6 promotes T-cell activation, proliferation, and the formation of the immunological synapse. ALCAM also mediates homotypic interactions with ALCAM-expressing cells and facilitates the attachment of dendritic cells to endothelial cells. Furthermore, it inhibits endothelial cell migration, promotes endothelial tube formation, and is necessary for the proper organization of the lymph vessel network. ALCAM is also involved in hematopoiesis, as it is required for normal numbers of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cell engraftment. Additionally, it promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, as well as neurite extension, axon growth, and axon guidance. ALCAM facilitates outgrowth and pathfinding for retinal ganglion cell axons. It forms homodimers and interacts with CD6, with both interactions occurring in the extracellular domain. However, homodimerization and CD6 interaction cannot happen simultaneously, and the affinity for CD6 is higher than for self-association. Finally, ALCAM can interact with LGALS1 and LGALS3, but this interaction inhibits its interaction with CD6 and involves the glycosylated extracellular domain.

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to block adhesion of HuT78 human cutaneous T cell lymphoma cells to immobilized Recombinant Human CD6. Recombinant Rat ALCAM/CD166 at 10 µg/mL blocked 81.21% of HUT78 cell adhesionto immobilized recombinant human CD6 (10 µg/mL, 100 µL/well).

Molecular Weight

68-95 kDa

Purity
  • Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

    1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss. 2. Taking 10 μg as an example, first add 20 μL of reconstituted solution provided by MCE and use a pipette to gently resuspend the lyophilized protein until it is fully dissolved.. (For most proteins, the reconstitution solution we provide is sterile water. If a diluent other than water is required, it will be indicated in the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA).). 3. Add an additional 80 μL of buffer/culture medium containing carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% trehalose), and then use a pipette to gently mix until uniform. The final concentration is should not be lower than 100 μg/mL. 4. Aliquot at least 20 μL per tube. 5. After aliquoting, store it frozen at a temperature ranging from -20ºC to -80ºC, and it can be preserved for 3 to 6 months.

  • How should solution-form recombinant proteins be stored?

    1. The product can be stored in its original form and diluted as needed upon use. 2. Alternatively, dilute with a buffer/culture medium containing a carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% alginate), mix well by pipetting, and ensure that

  • Why is it necessary to add carrier proteins?

    Carrier proteins are commonly added to enhance the stability of recombinant proteins, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the container during freezing or thawing processes. Plastic tubes have a certain adsorptive capacity for proteins, which may lead to difficulty in separating the protein from the tube walls, resulting in a decrease in the actual concentration of the protein in the solution and thus affecting its activity. To minimize such losses, it is recommended to add a commonly used carrier protein solution prior to the long-term storage of recombinant protein products.

  • Carrier protein types and options?

    In cases where the carrier protein is not expected to influence the experimental outcomes, an appropriate carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), 5% HSA (Human Serum Albumin), 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), or 5% trehalose, can be incorpo
