Description
Description: ULBP1 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids (26-216) and having a molecular mass of 23.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 20-40kDa). ULBP1 is fused to a 6 amino acid IgG His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: ULBP1 together with at least ULBP2 and ULBP3, is ligand for the NKG2D receptor. ULBPs stimulate various signaling pathways in primary NK cells, which result in cytokines and chemokines production. In CMV infected cells, ULBP1 cooperates with soluble CMV glycoprotein UL16 to inhibit the interaction with the NKG2D receptor providing a mechanism by which CMV infected cells escape the immune system. Additionally, UL16 retains ULBP1 to the ER and cis-Golgi apparatus to prevent it from reaching cell surface
