CCR8 Protein

Catalog No. ABIN7491570

This Synthetic Nanodisc CCR8 protein is expressed in HEK-293 Cells.

Quick Overview for CCR8 Protein (ABIN7491570)

Target: CCR8 (Chemokine (C-C Motif) Receptor 8 (CCR8))

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Product Details

Purpose: Human CCR8 full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Characteristics: Unlike other membrane scaffold protein (MSP) Nanodisc on the market, our synthetic Nanodisc can be prepared directly from the cells. The polymers used during this process have a dual function. It dissolves the cell membranes, like the detergent, and uses cellular phospholipids to form Nanodisc around the membrane proteins. The target protein embedded Nanodiscs can then be purified.

Application Details

Comment:

Advantages of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Highly purified membrane proteins
• High solubility in aqueous solutions
• High stability
• Proteins are in a native membrane environment and remain biologically active
• No detergent and can be used for cell-based assays
• No MSP backbone proteins

Limitations of Synthetic Nanodiscs:

• Intolerant to acids and high concentrations of divalent metal ions

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: Lyophilized from nanodisc solubilization buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0). Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization.

Storage: -20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.

Expiry Date: 12 months

Target Details

Target: CCR8 (Chemokine (C-C Motif) Receptor 8 (CCR8))

Alternative Name: CCR8

Background: A member of the beta chemokine receptor family,which is predicted to be a seven transmembrane protein similar to G protein-coupled receptors. Chemokines and their receptors are important for the migration of various cell types into the inflammatory sites. This receptor protein preferentially expresses in the thymus. I-309,thymus activation-regulated cytokine (TARC) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1 beta) have been identified as ligands of this receptor. Studies of this receptor and its ligands suggested its role in regulation of monocyte chemotaxis and thymic cell apoptosis. More specifically,this receptor may contribute to the proper positioning of activated T cells within the antigenic challenge sites and specialized areas of lymphoid tissues. This gene is located at the chemokine receptor gene cluster region.

Molecular Weight: The human full length CCR8 Protein has a MW of 40.7 kDa
