Product overview
Recombinant Human 2B4/CD244/SLAMF4 Protein is expressed in HEK293 cells with an hFc (IgG1) tag at the C-terminus. It contains amino acid residues Cys22-Arg221 (UniProt accession: Q9BZW8-2).
Product Details
- Molecular Aliases
- 2B4; CD244 antigen; CD244; h2B4; NAIL; NKR2B4; Nmrk; SLAMF4
- Protein Length
- Cys22-Arg221
- Expression System
- HEK293
- Theoretical Molecular Weight
- The protein has a predicted MW of 49 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 68-75 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.
- Purity
- > 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC
- Endotoxin
- Less than 0.1 EU per ug by the LAL method.
- Buffer / Formulation
- Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH 8.0). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
- State
- Lyophilized
- Storage Conditions
- -20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3 months after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Reconstitution Advice
- Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for detailed instructions.

Background
2B4 (CD244) is expressed by memory-phenotype CD8(+) T cells and all natural killer (NK) cells. The ligand for 2B4, CD48, is expressed on hematopoietic cells. 2B4 is conserved in humans and mice, and a number of reports have linked 2B4 with activation of lymphocytes.Engagement of 2B4 on NK cell surfaces with specific antibodies or CD48 can trigger cell mediated cytotoxicity, interferon γ secretion, phosphoinositol turnover and NK cell invasiveness.

Note: HPLC results always come from liquid protein, due to absorption peak interference of trehalose in lyophilized powder.
