Recombinant Mouse CD74 (C-6His)

Description

Other names: Cluster of Differentiation 74;CD74 antigen; CD74 molecule, major histocompatibility complex, class II invariant chain; DHLAG gamma chain of class II antigens; HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain; HLADG; HLA-DR antigens-associated invariant chain; HLA-DR-gamma; Ia antigen-associated invariant chain; Ia-associated invariant chain; Ia-GAMMA; MHC HLA-DR gamma chain; CD74; DHLAG; HLADG; Ia-gamma; INVG34;

Redissolve: Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.
Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 

Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

Shipping Condition: Ambient temperature.

Background: Mouse HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain (CD74), is a single-pass type II membrane glycoprotein which contains 1 thyroglobulin type-1 domain. Mouse CD74 shares 75% and 88% aa sequence identity with human and rat CD74, respectively. CD74 plays an important role in adaptive immunity, inflammation, and cancer. It plays a critical role in MHC class II antigen processing by stabilizing pESCItide-free class II alpha/beta heterodimers in a complex soon after their synthesis and directing transport of the complex from the endoplasmic reticulum to compartments where pESCItide loading of class II takes place.CD74 also associates with CD44 and binds with high affinity to the cytokine MIF, leading to inflammatory leukocyte responses, protection from tissue fibrosis, B cell proliferative and survival signaling, and the up‑regulation of angiogenic factors in endometrial stromal cells.
