Human CD63 Protein [His]

Product Overview

Recombinant CD63 antigen is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala103-Val203 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.

Nature

Recombinant

Tag/Conjugate

His

Endotoxin

Less than 0.1 ng/μg (1 EU/μg) as determined by LAL test.

Alternative Names

Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 3; LAMP-3; Melanoma-associated antigen ME491; OMA81H; Ocular melanoma-associated antigen; Tetraspanin-30; Tspan-30; CD63; TSPAN30

Purity

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

Format

Lyophilized

Buffer

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Preservative

None

Storage

Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

Reconstitution

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/mL. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Introduction

CD63 is a member of the tetraspanin family, as a TIMP-1 interacting protein. Functions as cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and plays a role in the activation of cellular signaling cascades. The protein plays a role in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling, leading to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2 and MAP kinases. It can promotes cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading and migration, via its role in the activation of AKT and FAK/PTK2. It also plays a role in VEGFA signaling via its role in regulating the internalization of KDR/VEGFR2. Plays a role in intracellular vesicular transport processes, and is required for normal trafficking of the PMEL luminal domain that is essential for the development and maturation of melanocytes. The protein is important in the adhesion of leukocytes onto endothelial cells via its role in the regulation of SELP trafficking.
