CXCR4 Protein

Catalog No. ABIN7491625

This Synthetic Nanodisc CXCR4 protein is produced in HEK-293 Cells.

Quick Overview for CXCR4 Protein (ABIN7491625)

Target: CXCR4 (Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Receptor 4 (CXCR4))

Protein Type: Synthetic Nanodisc

Origin: Human

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Product Details

Purpose: Human CXCR4 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: CXCR4 (Chemokine (C-X-C Motif) Receptor 4 (CXCR4))

Alternative Name: CXCR4

Background: A CXC chemokine receptor specific for stromal cell-derived factor-1. The protein has 7 transmembrane regions and is located on the cell surface. It acts with the CD4 protein to support HIV entry into cells and is also highly expressed in breast cancer cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with WHIM (warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis) syndrome.

Molecular Weight: The human full length CXCR4 protein has a MW of 39.7 kDa

UniProt: P61073

Pathways: Regulation of Cell Size, CXCR4-mediated Signaling Events
