| Species |
Cynomolgus |
| Protein Construction |
MICA (Glu1-Trp284)
Accession # AAO24115.1 |
His |
| N-term |
C-term |
|
| Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE
> 95% as determined by HPLC |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
| Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized MICA, His, Cynomolgus at 5μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate can bind Human NKG2D, hFc Tag. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
| Expression System |
HEK293 |
| Theoretical Molecular Weight |
33.53 kDa |
| Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 48-58 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
| Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
| Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Target Background |
MICA (MHC class I chain-related gene A) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a ligand for human NKG2D. A closely related protein, MICB, shares 85% amino acid identity with MICA. These proteins are distantly related to the MHC class I proteins. They possess three extracellular Ig‑like domains, but they have no capacity to bind peptide or interact with beta 2-microglobulin. |
| Synonyms |
Mafa-MIC1; MICA |
