Proteoglycan 3/PRG3 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Proteoglycan 3 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu18-Phe225 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Leu18-Phe225. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 27 kDa. Protein function: Proteoglycan 3, also known as Eosinophil major basic protein homolog, Prepro-major basic protein homolog, PRG3 and MBPH, contains one C-type lectin domain. Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix. PRG3 localizes to the eosinophil secondary granule and is expressed in bone marrow, not detected in placenta. PRG3 has similar cytotoxic and cytostimulatory activities to PRG2/MBP. In vitro, PRG3 can stimulate neutrophil superoxide production and IL8 release, histamine and leukotriene C4 release from basophils. Protein function: Possesses similar cytotoxic and cytostimulatory activities to PRG2/MBP. In vitro, stimulates neutrophil superoxide production and IL8 release, and histamine and leukotriene C4 release from basophils. [The UniProt Consortium]
