Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1; TREM-1; CD354; Trem1
Background
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 (TREM-1) is a transmembrane protein with a single Ig-like domain. TREM-1 associates with the adapter protein, DAP12, to deliver an activating signal. TREM-1 is expressed on blood neutrophils and monocytes, and the expression is up-regulated by bacterial LPS. TREM-1 is expressed at high levels on neutrophils of patients with microbial sepsis and in mice with a TREM-1/Fc fusion protein protected mice against LPS-induced shock. It stimulates neutrophil and monocyte-mediated inflammatory responses. Triggers release of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, as well as increased surface expression of cell activation markers. TREM-1 is amplifier of inflammatory responses that are triggered by bacterial and fungal infections and are a crucial mediator of septic shock.
Description
Recombinant Mouse Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala21-Ser202 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
Molecular Weight
20.9 KDa
Accession Number
Q9JKE2
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
Notes
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
Purity
Greater than 95%
Storage
Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
