Recombinant Mouse VSTM2L HA-tag Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity

>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.

Endotoxin Level

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

Activity

Measured by its ability to inhibit anti-CD3 antibody induced IFN-gamma secretion by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The ED₅₀ for this effect is 0.5-3 μg/mL.

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: VSTM2L

V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 2-like protein (VSTM2L), also known as C20orf102, is a 22 kDa extracellular protein belonging to the Immunoglobulin superfamily. VSTM2L contains an N-terminal signal peptide (aa 1-25), and an Ig-like domain (aa 41-158) with a disulfide bond between Cys 62 and Cys142. VSTM2L is expressed primarily in the central nervous system, but is also detected in serum and secreted in cultured cells (1). It has been found to be an antagonist of the neuroprotective peptide Humanin (1). Human VSTM2L has a 94% sequence identity to mouse homolog. VSTM2L functions as an inhibitory receptor in macrophages (2). Our in house data show that VSTM2L inhibits human T cell activation, including anti-CD3 induced IFN-gamma secretion.
