L-selectine Human, Sf9

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile Filtered clear solution.L-Selectin belongs to a family of divalent cation-dependent carbohydrate-binding glycoproteins or adhesion molecules. The L-Selectin molecule is composed of various domains: one homologous to lectins, one to epidermal growth factor, and two to the consensus repeat units found in C3/C4 binding proteins.L-selectin is expressed constitutively on lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes and interacts specifically with carbohydrate groups on activated endothelial cells. L-Selectin may be shed by proteolytic cleavage and circulating levels in biological fluids may be used as an indicator of various pathological conditions. L-Selectin is cleaved by ADAM17.L-selectin works as a "homing receptor" for leukocytes to enter secondary lymphoid tissues via the high endothelial venules. Ligands present on endothelial cells will attach to leukocytes expressing L-selectin, which causes the leukocytes to become localized at that juncture. The receptor is also located on the cell surfaces of "naive" T cells, which have not yet encountered their particular antigen. This surface expression is lost following the cells activation.L-Selectin produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 303 amino acids (52-345a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 34.1kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa) .L-Selectin is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
