Description
Description: SIGLEC7 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 577 amino acids (19-353a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 64.2kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa). SIGLEC7 is expressed with a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 7 isoform 1, also known as SIGLEC7, is a newly discovered family of sialic acid-binding lectins of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. The extracellular portion has two Ig-like domains, with the amino-terminal V-set Ig domain containing amino acid residues which known to be implicated in sialic acid recognition by other Siglecs. The combination of an extracellular sialic acid binding site and an intracellular ITIM motif proposes that SIGLEC7 is involved in trans-membrane regulatory signaling reactions. Furthermore, on the cell surface SIGLEC7 exists as a monomer and is expressed on natural killer cells
