Description
Data Sheet
| Description | P-Selectin Human Recombinant is expressed in E. coli containing 566 amino acids 197-761 fused to an amino terminal hexahistidine tag. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | P-Selectin is supplied in 50% Glycerol. |
| Protein Background | P-Selectin also called Platelet Alpha-Granule Membrane Protein, CD62, and Granulocyte Membrane Protein GRMP belongs to a family of divalent cation-dependent carbohydrate-binding glycoproteins or adhesion molecules. Pselectin is expressed transiently on the surface of activated platelets and endothelial cells. P-Selectin is a 140 kDa protein which is stored in the alpha-granules of platelets and Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. Secreted P-selectin is thought to play a key role in the adhesion of platelets to monocytes and neutrophils during an inflammatory response. P-Selectin is a calcium-dependent receptor that binds to sialylated forms of Lewis blood group carbohydrate antigens on neutrophils and monocytes. Levels of P-Selectin may be elevated in a number of pathological conditions. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Single band on Western Blot. |
