Nectin-2/CD112 Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc)

Nectin-2/CD112 protein has dual roles in T-cell signaling: as a costimulator with CD226, promoting proliferation and cytokine production, and as a coinhibitor with PVRIG, inhibiting proliferation. It also acts as a cell adhesion protein and a receptor for certain viruses. Nectin-2/CD112 Protein, Human (HEK293, mFc) is the recombinant human-derived Nectin-2/CD112 protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-mFc labeled tag.

Nectin-2/CD112, a versatile modulator of T-cell signaling, exhibits dual roles as a costimulator or coinhibitor, contingent upon the receptor it engages. Binding to CD226 prompts the stimulation of T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, including key players like IL2, IL5, IL10, IL13, and IFNG. In contrast, interaction with PVRIG results in the inhibition of T-cell proliferation, and these engagements are competitive in nature. Additionally, Nectin-2/CD112 serves as a probable cell adhesion protein, as indicated in previous studies. Furthermore, in the context of microbial infection, it acts as a receptor for herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) mutant Rid1, herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-2), and pseudorabies virus (PRV).

Extracellular Domain

Approximately 65-80 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 Tris with Glycine, Arginine and 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.
