| Description | Inquire | Purity:>95%(SDS-PAGE) Function:Cooperates with MD-2 and TLR4 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Up-regulates cell surface Purity:>95%(SDS-PAGE) Function:Cooperates with MD-2 and TLR4 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Acts via MyD88, TIRAP and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Up-regulates cell surface molecules, including adhesion molecules.Background:CD14 is a 55 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. The human CD14 cDNA encodes a 375 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 19 aa signal peptide and a C-terminal hydrophobic region characteristic for glycosylphosphatidyinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Human CD14 has four potential N-linked glycosylation sites and also bears O-linked carbohydrates. The amino acid sequence of human CD14 is approximately 65% identical with the mouse, rat, rabbit, and bovine proteins. CD14 is a pattern recognition receptor that binds lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and a variety of ligands derived from different microbial sources. The binding of CD14 with LPS is catalyzed by LPS-binding protein (LBP). The toll-like-receptors have also been implicated in the transduction of CD14-LPS signals. Similar to other GPI-anchored proteins, soluble CD14 can be released from the cell surface by phosphatidyinositol-specific phospholipase C. Soluble CD14 has been detected in serum and body fluids. High concentrations of soluble CD14 have been shown to inhibit LPS-mediated responses. However, soluble CD14 can also potentiate LPS response in cells that do not express cell surface CD14...

Trypsin cleaves peptides on the C-terminal end of lysine and arginine amino acid residues. The pH optimum of trypsin is pH 7 - 10. The enzyme is inhibited by serine protease inhibitors, e.g. PMSF, and by metal chelating agents, e.g., EDTA. Trypsin is a member of the serine protease family. Trypsin cleaves peptides on the C-terminal end of lysine and arginine amino acid residues. The pH optimum of trypsin is pH 7 - 10. The enzyme is inhibited by serine protease inhibitors, e.g. PMSF, and by metal chelating agents, e.g., EDTA. Recombinant Human Trypsin is a genetically engineered protein expressed in E.coli and purified by high pressure liquid chromatography. There are no contaminating enzyme activities such as carboxypeptidase A and chymotrypsin. No protease inhibitors such as PMSF are contained in the preparation.Animal origin free:The use of recombinant Human Trypsin eliminates the risk of virus presence, and of any other potential adventitious agents found in animal pancreas-derived trypsin. Recombinant human trypsin:The amino acid sequence is the same as the Human Trypsin 2.Stable:A sterile recombinant human trypsin lyophilized eliminates the contamination risks and decreases the chance of activity loss in the process of transport and storage.High purity:(1) Recombinant human trypsin provides increased specificity and eliminates contaminating activities found in lower purity enzymes.(2) No other contaminating proteases such as chymotrypsin or carboxypeptidase A...
