KLRK1, 73-216 aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

KLRK1 is an activating receptor that has recently generated considerable interest. The most intriguing of these are a pair of closely related proteins called MICA and MICB. These are cell-surface molecules distantly related to MHC class I proteins, and the genes possess elements of heat shock promoters. MICA and MICB, therefore, are expressed during cell stress and are up-regulated in tumor cells and during viral infections. This receptor-ligand combination may play a critical role in the immune response to a variety of pathologies. Recombinant human KLRK1 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.
