Molecular Characterization: SLAMF8(Ala23-Asp233)6A-His tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 24.2 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of SLAMF8-His is approximately 25-35 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human SLAMF8 Protein with C-terminal6A-His tagThis gene encodes a member of the CD2 family of cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte activation. These proteins are characterized by Ig domains. This protein is expressed in lymphoid tissues, and studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest that it may function during B cell lineage commitment. The gene is found in a region of chromosome 1 containing many CD2 genes.
