Product overview

Recombinant Rat FcRn Protein is expressed in HEK293 cells with a His tag at the C-terminus of FCGRT. It contains amino acid residues Ala23-Ser298 (FCGRT) and Ile21-Met119 (B2M) (accession: P13599(FCGRT) & P07151(B2M)).

Product Details

Molecular Aliases
FcRn alpha chain; FCGRT; FCRN; FCGRT&B2M
Protein Length
Ala23-Ser298
Expression System
HEK293
Theoretical Molecular Weight
The protein has a predicted MW of 32.60 kDa (FCGRT) and 11.63 kDa (B2M). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 45-60 kDa (FCGRT) and 13-15 kDa (B2M) 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 0.22 μm 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.

Background

The neonatal Fc receptor (FCRN) is an approximately 45 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein with structural homology to MHC class I proteins. It is widely expressed in endothelial and epithelial cells and plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and antigen presentation by dendritic cells.FCGRT & B2M heterodimer protein (FcRn complex) consist of two subunits: p51, and p14, and forms an MHC class I-like heterodimer.
