Animal-Free MCP-1/CCL2 Protein, Pig (His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
MCP-1/CCL2 protein acts as a ligand for CCR2, inducing chemotactic responses and calcium mobilization. It attracts monocytes and basophils but not neutrophils or eosinophils. Animal-Free MCP-1/CCL2 Protein, Pig (His) is the recombinant pig-derived animal-Free MCP-1/CCL2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.This product is for cell culture use only.
- Species: Pig
- Source: E. coli
-
Storage: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.

Background
CCL2 protein functions as a ligand for C-C chemokine receptor CCR2, initiating a potent chemotactic response and intracellular calcium mobilization through the binding and activation of CCR2. It exhibits chemotactic activity for monocytes and basophils while remaining inactive towards neutrophils or eosinophils. Playing a crucial role in mediating neuropathic pain induced by peripheral nerve injury, CCL2 also enhances NMDA-mediated synaptic transmission in dopamine D1 and D2 receptor-containing neurons, possibly involving MAPK/ERK-dependent phosphorylation of GRIN2B/NMDAR2B. Existing as a monomer or homodimer in equilibrium, it is tethered to endothelial cells by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains of proteoglycans and interacts with TNFAIP6 through its Link domain.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
It is recommended to reconstitute to a concentration of 100-200 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.
