Biotinylated Human NKG2D/CD314 Protein 4696

Additional Information:
express systemHEK293|product tagN-His-Avi|purity> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE;> 95% as determined by HPLC|backgroundNKG2D is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein having an extracellular lectin-like domain. This domain lacks the recognizable calcium-binding sites found in true C-type lectins and binds protein rather than carbohydrate ligands. Human NKG2D is expressed on CD8 alpha beta T cells, gamma T cells, NK cells and NKT cells.|molecular weightThe protein has a predicted MW of 19.0 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 36-40 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.|available size100 g, 500 g|endotoxinLess than 1EU per g by the LAL method.|Biotinylated Human NKG2D/CD314 Protein 4696proteinSize and concentration100, 500g and lyophilizedFormLyophilizedStorage InstructionsValid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80C.

Provides both stimulatory and costimulatory innate immune responses on activated killer (NK) cells, leading to cytotoxic activity. Acts as a costimulatory receptor for T-cell receptor (TCR) in CD8(+) T-cell-mediated adaptive immune responses by amplifying T-cell activation. Stimulates perforin-mediated elimination of ligand-expressing tumor cells. Signaling involves calcium influx, culminating in the expression of TNF-alpha. Participates in NK cell-mediated bone marrow graft rejection. May play a regulatory role in differentiation and survival of NK cells. Binds to ligands belonging to various subfamilies of MHC class I-related glycoproteins including MICA, MICB, RAET1E, RAET1G, RAET1L/ULBP6, ULBP1, ULBP2, ULBP3 (ULBP2>ULBP1>ULBP3) and ULBP4.Subellular locationCell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note=Colocalized with HCST on the cell surface.TissuesExpressed in natural killer (NK) cells, CD8(+) alpha-beta and gamma-delta T-cells. Expressed on essentially all CD56+CD3- NK cells from freshly isolated PBMC. Expressed in interferon-producing killer dendritic cells (IKDCs).StructureHomodimer; disulfide-linked. Heterohexamer composed of two subunits of KLRK1 and four subunits of HCST/DAP10. Interacts (via transmembrane domain) with HCST/DAP10 (via transmembrane domain); the interaction is required for KLRK1 NK cell surface and induces NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Does not interact with TYROBP. Interacts with CEACAM1; recruits PTPN6 that dephosphorylates VAV1 (PubMed:23696226).Target Relevance information above includes information from UniProt accession: P26718The UniProt Consortium|
