Introduction
TNFRSF14, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, is a type I transmembrane protein. TNFRSF14 is expressed in peripheral blood T cells, B cells, monocytes and in various tissues enriched in lymphoid cells. TNFRSF14 operates as a co-stimulatory factor for the activation of lymphoid cells and as a deterrent to infection by herpesvirus. Additionally, TNFRSF14 encourages the proliferation of T cells, and triggers apoptosis of various tumor cells.
Description
TNFRSF14 Human Recombinant produced in Pichia Pastoris is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 396 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 58.0kDa.
However, TNFRSF14 migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 70 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Source
Pichia Pastoris.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
TNFRSF14 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4, with 3 % Trehalose.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TNFRSF14 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized TNFRSF14 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TNFRSF14 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
