Alternative names:

AITR;GITR;TNFRSF18;CD357

Description:

Recombinant human GITR protein with C-terminal mouse Fc and 6×His tag

Background:

This gene encodes a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25( )CD4( ) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Molecular characterization:

GITR(Gln26-Pro162) mFc(Pro99-Lys330) 6×His

Molecular weight:

The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 50-52 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.

Tag:

C-Mouse Fc and 6×His Tag

Expression host:

HEK293

Target:

GITR

Purity:

The purity of the protein is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.

Formulation / Reconstitution:

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.

Storage:

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.
