XCL2/SCM-1 beta Protein, Human (sf9, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

XCL2 (also knowns as SCM1-β and SCYC-2) is a member of C chemokine sub-family that is highly related to XCL1. XCL2 binds and activates the G protein-coupled receptor, XCR1. XCL2 is mainly produced by activated T cells and natural killer cells. XCL2/SCM-1 beta Protein, Human (sf9, His) is produced in sf9 insect cells with a C-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 114 amino acids (M1-G114).

Biological Activity

Description

XCL2 (also knowns as SCM1-β and SCYC-2) is a member of C chemokine sub-family that is highly related to XCL1. XCL2 binds and activates the G protein-coupled receptor, XCR1. XCL2 is mainly produced by activated T cells and natural killer cells[1]. XCL2/SCM-1 beta Protein, Human (sf9, His) is produced in sf9 insect cells with a C-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 114 amino acids (M1-G114).

Background

An alignment of the XCL1 and XCL2 amino acid sequences illustrates their high similarity. The human proteins differ at only two sequence positions, 7DK8 and 7HR8 in XCL1 and XCL2, respectively. XCL2 is constitutively expressed by unstimulated natural killer (NK) cells and to a lesser extent by inactive CD8 + T cells[1].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with human XCR1. The ED50 for this effect is 49.31 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 2.028×104 U/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 10% Glycerol, 5% trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.
