CNTN6/Contactin-6 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

The Contactin-6 (CNTN6) protein is a key player in nervous system development, promoting critical cell surface interactions. It actively participates in oligodendrocyte generation by acting as a ligand for NOTCH1. CNTN6/Contactin-6 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived CNTN6/Contactin-6 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

Contactin-6 (CNTN6) is a crucial player in nervous system development, where contactins mediate cell surface interactions. CNTN6 participates in the generation of oligodendrocytes by serving as a ligand for NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 leads to the activation of NOTCH1 through the release of the notch intracellular domain (NICD), facilitating its translocation to the nucleus. This involvement in NOTCH1 signaling underscores CNTN6's role in regulating cellular processes associated with oligodendrocyte development. Moreover, CNTN6 has been implicated in motor coordination (By similarity), suggesting its potential contribution to neural circuits governing motor function. The interaction with PTPRG further emphasizes the complex regulatory network in which CNTN6 participates during nervous system development.

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of Neuro-2A mouse neuroblastoma cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 1.535 µg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 651.46 units/mg.

Approximately 125-180 kDa due to the glycosylation.

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

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween80.

<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.
