CLEC4C Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

CLEC4C is a lectin-type cell surface receptor that plays a crucial role in antigen capture by dendritic cells. It specifically recognizes non-sialylated galactose-terminated biantennary glycans with the trisaccharide epitope Gal(beta1-3/4)GlcNAc(beta1-2)Man. CLEC4C Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived CLEC4C protein, expressed by HEK293, with N-hFc labeled tag.

The CLEC4C protein functions as a lectin-type cell surface receptor and is implicated in antigen capturing by dendritic cells. It specifically recognizes non-sialylated galactose-terminated biantennary glycans that contain the trisaccharide epitope Gal(beta1-3/4)GlcNAc(beta1-2)Man. Additionally, CLEC4C binds to serum IgG and efficiently targets ligands into antigen-processing and peptide-loading compartments for presentation to T-cells. Notably, it may mediate potent inhibition of the induction of IFN-alpha/beta expression in plasmacytoid dendritic cells and act as a signaling receptor, activating protein-tyrosine kinases and mobilizing intracellular calcium. The protein forms homodimers, underscoring its potential significance in cellular signaling and immune response modulation.

Approximately 55-60 kDa,based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions,due to the glycosylation.

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

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris, 100 mM Glycine, 25 mM Arginine, 150 mM NaCl, pH7.5 with trehalose as protectant.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

<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 from date of receipt. 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.
