Alternative names:

MFAP-5;MP25;MAGP-2;MAGP2

Description:

Recombinant human MFAP5 protein with C-terminal human Fc tag

Background:

This gene encodes a 25-kD microfibril-associated glycoprotein which is a component of microfibrils of the extracellular matrix. The encoded protein promotes attachment of cells to microfibrils via alpha-V-beta-3 integrin. Deficiency of this gene in mice results in neutropenia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Molecular characterization:

MFAP5(Ile22-Leu173) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 43.4 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of MFAP5-hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.

Tag:

C-Human Fc Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

MFAP5

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% 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.
