We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Tag
N-terminal 10xHis-tagged and C-terminal Myc-tagged
Molecular Weight
25.2 kDa
Relevance
Plays a role in escape from host immune response. Blocks the interaction between the host KLRK1 receptor with the ligands ULBP1 and ULBP2. ULBPs activate multiple signaling pathways in primary NK cells, resulting in the production of cytokines and chemokines. The sequestration of diverse KLRK1 ligands in the endoplasmic reticulum and cis-Golgi apparatus of cells by UL16 inhibits the activation of NK cells.

Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Expression Region
27-184aa

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Purity
Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Storage
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
