CD43 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc)

CD43 protein is an important leukocyte surface sialic acid protein that plays a key role in T cell regulation. It has a positive impact on T cell function, including activation, proliferation, differentiation, trafficking and migration, especially by helping T cells migrate to lymph nodes through ERM proteins. CD43 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived CD43 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

The CD43 protein stands out as the predominant cell surface sialoprotein of leukocytes, orchestrating a myriad of crucial functions in T-cell regulation. It exerts a positive influence on T-cell activation, proliferation, differentiation, trafficking, and migration, notably facilitating T-cell trafficking to lymph nodes through its association with ERM proteins (EZR, RDX, and MSN). While playing a role in preparing T-cells for cytokine sensing and differentiation into effector cells, CD43 negatively regulates Th2 cell differentiation and steers T-cells toward a Th1 lineage commitment. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in inducing the expression of IFN-gamma by T-cells during T-cell receptor (TCR) activation, promoting IFNGR and IL4R signaling, and mediating the clustering of IFNGR with TCR. Acting as a major E-selectin ligand, CD43 facilitates Th17 cell rolling on activated vasculature and recruitment during inflammation, mediating Th17 cell adhesion to E-selectin. Moreover, CD43 serves as a T-cell counter-receptor for SIGLEC1, contributing to cell survival by protecting cells from apoptotic signals.

Lyophilized powder

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

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

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).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. 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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
