Complement Factor D/Adipsin Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Complement factor D, also known as Adipsin, plays a crucial role in the alternative pathway of the complement system and when complexed with factor C3b, it cleaves factor B. This cleavage activates the C3bbb complex, converting it to the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway. Complement Factor D/Adipsin Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Complement Factor D/Adipsin protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag. The total length of Complement Factor D/Adipsin Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 228 a.a., with molecular weight of ~28.0 kDa.

Complement Factor D, also known as Adipsin, is a crucial component in the alternate pathway of the complement system. Functioning analogously to C1s in the classical pathway, Factor D plays a pivotal role in the activation of the C3 convertase. Specifically, Factor D cleaves Factor B when the latter is complexed with Factor C3b. This enzymatic activity leads to the generation of the active C3bbb complex, which serves as the C3 convertase in the alternate pathway. The homologous function of Factor D to C1s underscores its significance in initiating the complement cascade, highlighting its role in immune responses.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.

<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. 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.
