Name :
Recombinant Human LOX-1 Protein (His Tag), HPLC-verified
Biological Activity :
Background :
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (Ox-LDL receptor 1 or OLR1), also known as lectin-type oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX1), is a receptor protein that belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily. LOX1 is a multi-ligand receptor originally identified as the endothelial oxidized LDL receptor. OLR1 / LOX1 was isolated from an aortic endothelial cell, and recently it has been discovered in macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells in artery vessels. The expression of LOX1 is induced by inflammatory stimuli and oxidative stimuli. This protein binds, internalizes, and degrades oxidized low-density lipoprotein. LOX1 may play an important role in the progression of vulnerable carotid plaque and might regulate vulnerable plaque formation in cooperation with MMPs and TIMP-2. In clinical, LOX1 is thought to be involved in the development of atherosclerotic lesions.

Molecular Weight :
The recombinant human OLR1 consists of 229 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 26.5 kDa. It exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhOLR1 is approximately 30-35 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, and 60-70 kDa in non-reduced SDS-PAGE.
Purity :
≥ 85 % as determined by SDS-PAGE. ≥ 85 % as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Product Concentration :
Storage and Stability :
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Endotoxin Level :
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the human OLR1 (P78380) extracellular domain (Ser 61-Gln 273) was expressed, with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus.
Buffer Solution :
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % – 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet.
Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
Redissolution :
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
