PIGR Protein, Human (G365S, HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

PIGR proteins play a critical role in mediating the selective transcytosis of polymerized IgA and IgM across mucosal epithelial cells, which is critical for mucosal immunity. PIGR binds these immunoglobulins at the basolateral surface, forming a complex that is transported intracellularly and secreted apically. PIGR Protein, Human (G365S, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PIGR protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Description

PIGR proteins play a critical role in mediating the selective transcytosis of polymerized IgA and IgM across mucosal epithelial cells, which is critical for mucosal immunity. PIGR binds these immunoglobulins at the basolateral surface, forming a complex that is transported intracellularly and secreted apically. PIGR Protein, Human (G365S, HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived PIGR protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

PIGR Protein assumes a crucial role in mediating the selective transcytosis of polymeric IgA and IgM across mucosal epithelial cells, orchestrating a process essential for mucosal immunity. The protein binds polymeric IgA and IgM at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells, forming a complex that is subsequently transported across the cell and secreted at the apical surface. During this transit, a cleavage event occurs, separating the extracellular component, known as the secretory component, from the transmembrane segment. PIGR, through its N-linked glycans, ensures the anchoring of secretory IgA (sIgA) molecules to the mucus lining the epithelial surface, a critical mechanism for neutralizing extracellular pathogens. In its free form, PIGR may also function as a non-specific microbial scavenger, playing a role in preventing pathogen interaction with epithelial cells and contributing to the broader defense against potential infections.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.2.

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.
