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...

It is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of the 40 kD cytokine receptor like subunit and a 35 kD subunit. This cytokine is expressed by activated macrophages that serve as an essential inducer of Th1 cells development. IL12 has been found to be important for sustaining a sufficient number of memory/effector Th1 cells to mediate long-term protection to an intracellular pathogen. Recombinant human IL12 protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cells using baculovirus expression system and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques...

Description: 100B, previously called S100 beta, belongs to the S100 family within the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding proteins. S100 proteins contain two EF-hand motifs that differ in affinity, separated by a hingePurity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description: 100B, previously called S100 beta, belongs to the S100 family within the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding proteins. S100 proteins contain two EF-hand motifs that differ in affinity, separated by a hinge region with a hydrophobic cleft that is exposed upon Ca2+ binding. S100B is a 91 amino acid (aa) protein, after removal of the initial methionine, and is found as homodimers of 10.4 kDa monomers. Human S100B shares 99%, 98%, 100%, 99% and 97% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, rabbit, equine and bovine S100B, respectively. Within the S100 family, human S100B shows the highest aa identity (59%) with S100A1. S100B is expressed primarily by astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, and by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Ca2+-bound S100B interacts in vitro with at least 20 cytoplasmic proteins, including several structural molecules such as tubulin and GFAP. It can inhibit the phosphorylation of these kinase substrates and others such as tau and neuromodulin. Astrocytes can secrete S100B, which then acts in a cytokine-like manner. Nanomolar concentrations of S100B are secreted constitutively, promote proliferation, and are neurotrophic and anti-apoptotic. Blood levels of S100B reflect extracellular concentrations within the nervous system, and are elevated in Down’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and Tourette’s syndrome, metabolic stress, acute brain injury and brain tumors. Micromolar concentrations of S100B can be destructive and pro-apoptotic; they induce the expression of iNOS, COX-2, IL-1, IL‑6 and TNF-alpha by microglia, astrocytes or neurons. Most extracellular actions of S100B can be mediated by RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products), which is also a receptor for other S100 proteins... Read More |
