Description
Introduction: UL16 Binding Protein 3 (ULBP3) is a ligand for the NKG2D receptor in NK cells. ULBPs activate different signaling pathways resulting in the production of cytokines and chemokines. ULBP3 is a ligand for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, along with at least ULBP1 and ULBP2. Binding of ULBPs ligands to KLRK1/NKG2D stimulates calcium mobilization and activation of the JAK2, STAT5, ERK and PI3K kinase/Akt signal transduction pathway. ULBP3 has lower affinity for KLRK1/NKG2D compared to ULBP1 and ULBP2 and stimulates weaker signaling responses than does ULBP2 or ULBP1.
Description: ULBP3 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 430 amino acids (30-217a.a) and having a molecular mass of 49.3kDa.
ULBP3 is fused to a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-Tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
