Product Details

Molecular Aliases
ALCAN-alpha; N2DL2; NKG2DL2; RAET1H; RAET1L; ULBP2; ULBP-2/5/6; NKG2D ligand 2;ULBP2/5/6
Protein Length
Gly26-Ser217
Expression System
HEK293
Theoretical Molecular Weight
The protein has a predicted MW of 24.6 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 30-40 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.
Purity
> 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC
Endotoxin
Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method.
Buffer / Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). 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.

Blocking
ULBP2-HB001 Blocking result

Serial dilutions of Anti-NKG2D Antibody, hFc Tag were added into Biotinylated Human ULBP-2, His Tag: Human NKG2D, hFc Tag binding reactioins. The half maximal inhibitiory concentration (IC50) is 45.2ng/ml.

Background

ULBP2 expression was however linked to expression of mature CD57() NK cells. In particular, expression of ULBP2 was strongest on those NK cells that had evidence of recent activation and proliferation. We suggest that ULBP2 could be used to identify recently activated "mature" NK cells.
