Complement C3 (C3), partial, mouse, recombinant

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse). Source: E.coli. Expression Region: 1321-1663aa. Protein Length: Partial. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: SEETKQNEAF SLTAKGKGRG TLSVVAVYHA KLKSKVTCKK FDLRVSIRPA PETAKKPEEA KNTMFLEICT KYLGDVDATM SILDISMMTG FAPDTKDLEL LASGVDRYIS KYEMNKAFSN KNTLIIYLEK ISHTEEDCLT FKVHQYFNVG LIQPGSVKVY SYYNLEESCT RFYHPEKDDG MLSKLCHSEM CRCAEENCFM QQSQEKINLN VRLDKACEPG VDYVYKTELT NIELLDDFDE YTMTIQQVIK SGSDEVQAGQ QRKFISHIKC RNALKLQKGK KYLMWGLSSD LWGEKPNTSY IIGKDTWVEH WPEAEECQDQ KYQKQCEELG AFTESMVVYG CPN. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complent syst. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complent pathways. After activation C3b can bind covalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates or immune aggregates.Derived from proteolytic degradation of complent C3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. In chronic inflammation, acts as a choattractant for neutrophils . It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes. The short isoform has B-cell stimulatory activity.C3-beta-c: Acts as a choattractant for neutrophils in chronic inflammation.Acylation stimulating protein: adipogenic hormone that stimulates triglyceride (TG) synthesis and glucose transport in adipocytes, regulating fat storage and playing a role in postprandial TG clearance. Appears to stimulate TG synthesis via activation of the PLC, MAPK and AKT signaling pathways. Ligand for C5AR2. Promotes the phosphorylation, ARRB2-mediated internalization and recycling of C5AR2.
