CD4 Protein (CD4) (AA 26-396) (Fc Tag,AVI tag,Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN5674591

Product Details

Target: CD4

Protein Type: Recombinant

Biological Activity: Active

Protein Characteristics: AA 26-396

Origin: Human

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Purification tag / Conjugate: This CD4 protein is labelled with Fc Tag,AVI tag,Biotin.

Brand: PrecisionAvi

Sequence: AA 26-396

Specificity: Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.

Characteristics: This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus, followed by a Avi tag (Avitag™). The protein has a calculated MW of 69.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the protein migrates as 80 kDa under reducing (R) condition, and 150 kDa under non-redu

Purity: >95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin Level: Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Application Details

Comment:

Ready-to-use AvitagTM biotinylated protein:
The product is exclusively produced using the AvitagTM technology. Briefly, a unique 15 amino acid peptide, the Avi tag, is introduced into the recombinant protein during expression vector construction. The single lysine residue in the Avi tag is enzymatically biotinylated by the E. Coli biotin ligase BirA.

This single-point enzymatic labeling technique brings many advantages for commonly used binding assays. The biotinylation happens on the lysine residue of Avi tag, and therefore does NOT interfere with the target protein's natural binding activities. In addition, when immobilized on an avidin-coated surface, the protein orientation is uniform because the position of the Avi tag in the protein is precisely controlled.

Alternative Name: CD4 (CD4 Products)

Background: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4 is also known as T-cell surface antigen T4/Leu-3. CD4 contains three Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains and one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. CD4 is accessory protein for MHC class-II antigen/T-cell receptor interaction. CD4 induces the aggregation of lipid rafts. CD4 is a primary receptor used by HIV-1 to gain entry into host T cells. HIV infection leads to a progressive reduction of the number of T cells possessing CD4 receptors. Therefore, medical professionals refer to the CD4 count to decide when to begin treatment for HIV-infected patients.
