KLRB1, 67-225aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B member 1, also known as KLRB1, plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells cytotoxicity. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. Recombinant human KLRB1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
