Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 proteins are cell surface GPI-binding ligands of Eph receptors that serve as critical mediators in a variety of cellular processes critical for migration, repulsion, and adhesion during neuronal, vascular, and epithelial development. As a promiscuous binder, Ephrin-A4 binds to Eph receptors on neighboring cells, stimulating contact-dependent bidirectional signaling to neighboring cells. Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 proteins are cell surface GPI-binding ligands of Eph receptors that serve as critical mediators in a variety of cellular processes critical for migration, repulsion, and adhesion during neuronal, vascular, and epithelial development. As a promiscuous binder, Ephrin-A4 binds to Eph receptors on neighboring cells, stimulating contact-dependent bidirectional signaling to neighboring cells. Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Ephrin-A4/EFNA4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

Ephrin-A4 (EFNA4) is a cell surface glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-bound ligand that belongs to the Eph receptor family, a group of receptor tyrosine kinases crucial for various developmental processes, including migration, repulsion, and adhesion in neurons, vascular tissues, and epithelial cells. EFNA4 binds promiscuously to Eph receptors on adjacent cells, initiating contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. This interaction is essential for orchestrating complex cellular events during development. Moreover, EFNA4 may contribute to the interaction between activated B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells in tonsils, suggesting its involvement in immune responses.

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Mouse Ephrin-A4 at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Biotinylated Mouse EPHA7. The ED50 for this effect is 1.214μg/mL.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

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).

Storage & Stability

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.
