CD59 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi)
The CD59 protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) and binds to assembled C8 and/or C9 complement, preventing the incorporation of multiple C9 copies that are critical for permeability pore formation. Its species-specific inhibitory effects extend to T cell activation, complexing with protein tyrosine kinases for signal transduction. CD59 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is the recombinant human-derived CD59 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-Avi, C-His labeled tag. The total length of CD59 Protein, Human (Biotinylated, HEK293, His-Avi) is 77 a.a., with molecular weight of 15-20 kDa.

Description
The CD59 protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) and binds to assembled C8 and/or C9 complement, preventing the incorporation of multiple C9 copies that are critical for permeability pore formation.

Background
CD59 protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) action. It functions by binding to the assembling MAC's C8 and/or C9 complements, thereby impeding the incorporation of multiple copies of C9 necessary for the formation of the osmolytic pore. Notably, this inhibitor exhibits species-specificity. Additionally, CD59 is involved in T-cell activation complexed with a protein tyrosine kinase for signal transduction. It is worth noting that while the soluble form of CD59 from urine retains its specific complement binding activity, it demonstrates a significantly reduced ability to inhibit MAC assembly on cell membranes.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
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.
