Alternative names:

Description:

Recombinant human ITGA2 Protein with C-terminal 6×His tag

Background:

This gene encodes the alpha subunit of a transmembrane receptor for collagens and related proteins. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with a beta subunit and mediates the adhesion of platelets and other cell types to the extracellular matrix. Loss of the encoded protein is associated with bleeding disorder platelet-type 9. Antibodies against this protein are found in several immune disorders, including neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. This gene is located adjacent to a related alpha subunit gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Molecular characterization:

ITGA2(Thr30-Thr1132) 6×His tag

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 121.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of ITGA2-His is approximately 130-250 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-6×His Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

ITGA2

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
