Description
Description: SH2D1A Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 148 amino acids (1-128 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 16.3kDa. The SH2D1A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: SH2D1A acts as an inhibitor of the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) self-association. The SH2D1A protein is expressed at a high level in the thymus and the lung, with a lower level of expression in the spleen and the liver. The SH2D1A protein contains an SH2 domain and a short tail. SH2D1A has a key role in the bidirectional stimulation of T and B cells. Defects in the SH2D1A gene cause the X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLPD), aka Duncan disease. The XLPD is distinguished by a rare congenital immunodeficiency following an EBV infection (Epstein-Barr virus)
