Recombinant Mouse ASAM Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain

Endotoxin Level

<0.10 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Activity

Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of BCE C/D‑1b bovine corneal endothelial cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is 0.8-3.2 μg/mL.
Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: ASAM

Adipocyte‑specific adhesion molecule (ASAM), also known as ACAM and coxsackie‑ and adenovirus receptor‑like membrane protein (CLMP), is a type I transmembrane protein and member of the CTX family within the immunoglobulin superfamily. Mature mouse ASAM consists of a 217 amino acid (aa) extracellular region, a 21 aa transmembrane region, and a 118 aa cytoplasmic tail. The extracellular region contains one V‑type and one C‑type immunoglobulin domain connected by a J segment (1, 2). Within the ECD, mouse ASAM shares 97% and 100% aa sequence identity with human and rat ASAM, respectively. ASAM is widely expressed as 44 kDa and 48 kDa species in epithelial tissues where it localizes to tight junctions (1, 3). It mediates cell‑cell adhesion and contributes to trans‑epithelial resistance (1). It is down‑regulated in Sertoli cells by TNF‑ alpha which also inhibits the expression of several other tight junction proteins in seminiferous tubules (4, 5). ASAM is additionally expressed by mature adipocytes and is up‑regulated in white adipose tissue under conditions of obesity (2).
