Description
Product Name: | Mouse BCA-1 Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB1100 |
Size: | 20µg |
Species: | Mouse |
Target: | BCA-1 |
Synonyms: | C-X-C motif chemokine 13, B lymphocyte chemoattractant, CXC chemokine BLC, Small-inducible cytokine B13, Cxcl13, Blc, Scyb13. |
Source: | Escherichia Coli |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | The BCA1 protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution in Acetonitrile and TFA. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CXCL13 in sterile 18M?-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability: | Lyophilized BCA1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BCA1 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity: | Greater than 97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Amino Acid Sequence: | ILEAHYTNLK CRCSGVISTV VGLNIIDRIQ VTPPGNGCPK TEVVIWTKMK KVICVNPRAK WLQRLLRHVQ SKSLSSTPQA PVSKRRAA |
Biological Activity: | The ED50, as measured by its ability to chemoattract human CXCR5-transfected mouse BaF3 cells, is less than 2µg/ml. |
BCA-1 is a CXC chemokine that is highly expressed in thesecondary lymphoid organs, such as follicles of the spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches. CXCL13 promotes the migration of B lymphocytes (compared to T cells and macrophages), by stimulating calcium influx into, and chemotaxis of, cells expressing Burkitt's lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR1). BCA1 therefore function in the homing of B lymphocytes to follicles. Human BCA-1 shares a 64% amino acid sequence similarity with the mouse protein and 23 - 34% amino acid sequence identity with other known CXC chemokines. Recombinant or chemically synthesized BCA1 is a potent chemoattractant for B lymphocytes but not T lymphocytes, monocytes or neutrophils. BLR1, a G protein-coupled receptor originally isolated from Burkitt’s lymphoma cells, has now been shown to be the specific receptor for BCA1. Among cells of the hematopoietic lineages, the expression of BLR-1, now designated CXCR-5, is restricted to B lymphocytes and a subpopulation of T helper memory cells.
CXCL13 Mouse Recombinant (22-109) produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 88 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 10kDa.The BCA-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
UniProt Protein Function: | CXCL13: Chemotactic for B-lymphocytes but not for T-lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils. Does not induce calcium release in B- lymphocytes. Binds to BLR1/CXCR5. Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family. |
