Description
Introduction: SELPLG glycoprotein functions as a high affinity counter-receptor for the cell adhesion selectin molecules (P, E and L) located in stimulated T lymphocytes and myeloid cells. SELPLG binds leukocytes to activated platelets or endothelia expressing selectins, a vital role in leukocyte trafficking throughout inflammation. In order to have a high-affinity binding activity SELPLG needs two post-translational modifications, tyrosine sulfation and the addition of the sialyl Lewis x tetrasaccharide (sLex) to its O-linked glycans. Polymorphisms and abnormal expression of SELPLG are linked to defects in the innate and adaptive immune response. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Description: SELPLG Human Recombinant produced in HEK293 Cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 496 amino acids (42-295 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 53.4kDa.
SELPLG is fused to a 239 amino acid hIgG-His-Tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
