Other family members include B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1/PD-L1, B7-H2, and PD-L2. B7 Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue StainingDescription:Human B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3) is a member of the B7 family of immune proteins that provide signals for the regulation of immune responses. Other family members include B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1/PD-L1, B7-H2, and PD-L2. B7 family proteins are type I transmembrane immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members that contain extracellular Ig V‑like and Ig C‑like domains with a short cytoplasmic tail. Among the family members there is about 20 - 40% amino acid (aa) sequence identity. B7-H3 was initially reported to be a 316 aa type I transmembrane precursor protein that contained a signal sequence, an extracellular region with one V‑type and one C‑type Ig domain, a transmembrane segment and a short cytoplasmic tail. Subsequent studies have identified a second 110 kDa form whose precursor is 534 aa in length. Termed 4IgB7-H3 or B7-H3b, this molecule has two additional Ig-like domains (one V‑type and one C‑type) and shows a ubiquituous expression pattern. It would appear that the human 4Ig form is the principal, if not the only form of B7-H3. Its precursor contains a 26 aa signal sequence, a 435 aa extracellular region, a 31 aa transmembrane domain, and a 42 aa cytoplasmic tail. The four Ig-like domains alternate between V‑type and C‑type, and apparently are the consequence of a V‑C type tandem duplication. B7-H3b is expressed on dendritic cells as well as activated T, B and NK cells. The mouse gene differs from that of human in that it cannot code for four Ig-like domains; only a V‑type:C‑type pair. Human B7-H3b binding to an undefined receptor has shown to be inhibitory to NK cell illing and cytokine release. It also seems to be required for late stage osteoblast differentiation...

This strain is expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli, and after multi-step separation and purification, it is dissolved in 10mM PBS, 0.15 M NaCl (pH7.2) solution, filtered through a 0.22 µm filter membrane, and then freeze-dried to make a lyophilized powder...

Plays a key role in regulating apoptosis during retinal development. Establishes dorsal-ventral positional information in the retina and controls the formation of the retinotectal map (PubMed:23307924). Required for normal formation of bones and joints in the limbs, skull, digits and axial skeleton. Plays a key role in establishing boundaries between skeletal elements during development. Regulation of GDF6 expression seems to be a mechanism for evolving species-specific changes in skeletal strucutres. Seems to positively regulates differentiation of chondrogenic tissue through the growth factor receptors subunits BMPR1A, BMPR1B, BMPR2 and ACVR2A, leading to the activation of SMAD1-SMAD5-SMAD8 complex. The regulation of chondrogenic differentiation is inhibited by NOG (PubMed:26643732). Also involved in the induction of adipogenesis from mesenchymal stem cells. This mechanism acts through the growth factor receptors subunits BMPR1A, BMPR2 and ACVR2A and the activation of SMAD1-SMAD5-SMAD8 complex and MAPK14/p38...

Acts as decoy receptor for RANKL and thereby neutralizes its function in osteoclastogenesis. Inhibits the activation of osteoclasts and promotes osteoclast apoptosis in vitro. Bone homeostasis seems to depend on the local RANKL/OPG ratio. May also play a role in preventing arterial calcification. May act as decoy receptor for TRAIL and protect against apoptosis. TRAIL binding blocks the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.OPG has been applied to decrease bone resorption in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and in patients with lytic bone metastases...
