Name :
Human Integrin alpha 2b beta 3 Heterodimer Protein (I874S, Flag & His Tag)

Biological Activity :

Background :
Integrin alpha 2b beta 3 (also GPIIbIIIa) is a key platelet integrin, a noncovalent heterodimer of type I transmembrane subunits alpha 2b/CD41 and beta3/CD61. Capable of binding fibrinogen in its active state, its α and β subunits each comprise a ligand-binding extracellular domain, a single-pass transmembrane helix, and a cytoplasmic tail with binding sites for intracellular proteins. Upon agonist stimulation, αIIbβ3 accepts its extended-open (activated) conformation, increasing its matrix protein RGD motif ligand affinity, subsequently facilitating platelet spreading, platelet aggregation, and thrombus formation. Deficiencies lead to lifelong bleeding diathesis as seen in Glanzmann thrombasthenia. αIIbβ3-targeting therapeutic antibodies can inhibit thrombi formation in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and potentially inhibit tumor angiogenesis and metastasis by blocking interaction of platelet αIIbβ3 with tumor cells.

Biological Activity :

Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the human ITGA2B (P08514-1)(Met1-Arg993, I874S) was fused with a flag tag at the C-terminus, constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the human ITGB3 (P05106-1) (Met1-Asp718) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the Integrin alpha 2b beta 3 Heterodimer was purified.

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.
