Product Description
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM-6), previously called nonspecific crossreacting antigen (NCA) or CD66c, is one of seven human CEACAM family members within the immunoglobulin superfamily. In humans, CEACAMs include type I transmembrane proteins (CEACAM-1, -3, and -4) and GPI-linked molecules (CEACAM-5 through -8). There is no human CEACAM-2. Human CEACAM-6 is a 90 kDa, GPI-linked membrane protein that contains a 34 aa signal sequence, a 286 aa extracellular domain (ECD), and a 24 aa hydrophobic C-terminal propeptide. The GPI membrane anchor is attached at the C-terminus following cleavage of the propeptide. CEACAM-6 contains one N-terminal V-type Ig-like domain (N domain), followed by two C2-type Ig-like domains. It shows considerable glycosylation, including (sialyl) LewisX, which mediates binding to E-selectin, galectins and some bacterial fimbrae. Mature human CEACAM-6 shows 84%, 85%, 80%, 87% and 51% aa identity to the equivalent extracellular regions of human CEACAMs 1, 5 (CEA) and 8, rhesus CEACAM-2, and bovine CEACAM-6, respectively. CEACAM-6 is expressed by granulocytes and their precursors. Activation enhances surface expression by mobilizing CEACAM-6 from storage in azurophilic granules. It often shows aberrant expression in acute lymphocytic leukemias. CEACAM-6 is also expressed in epithelia of various organs and is upregulated in pancreatic and colon adenocarcinomas and hyperplastic polyps.
S pecifications Synonyms CEACAM6; CD66c; CEAL; NCA; CEA Uniprot No. P40199 Source Recombinant Human CEACAM-6/CD66c Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag and Avi tag at the C-terminal. It contains Lys35-Gly320. Molecular Weight The protein has a predicted MW of 34.1 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55-75 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC Activity SPR Data Human CEACAM-8, His Tag immobilized on CM5 Chip can bind Human CEACAM-6, His Tag with an affinity constant of 4.59 μM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200). Endotoxin < 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Reconstitution Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/mL is recommended (usually we use 1 mg/mL solution for lyophilization). Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.
Storage
The product should be stored at -2 0 ~- 80 ℃ for 1 year from date of receipt. 2-7 days, 2 ~8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3- 6 months, -2 0 ~- 80 ℃ under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. N ote 1. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing 2.
