Host: |
HEK293 |
Note: |
STRICTLY FOR FURTHER RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
Short Description: |
Recombinant-Human LDLR-C-His-Avi protein was developed from hek293 and has a target region of C-His-Avi. For use in research applications. |
Conjugation: |
Biotin |
Formulation: |
Lyophilised from 0.2 µm filtered PBS solution pH7.4. |
Dilution Range: |
Upon receipt centrifuge vial to ensure maximal product extraction, recommended: 20sec, 5K RPM |
Storage Instruction: |
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 1 year from date of receipt at-20°C. |
Endotoxin: |
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg (1EU/µg). |
Gene Symbol: |
LDLR |
Gene ID: |
3949 |
Uniprot ID: |
LDLR_HUMAN |
Immunogen Region: |
Ala22-Arg788 |
Immunogen: |
DNA sequence encoding Human LDLR including a C-His-Avi tag was expressed in HEK293 Cells. The recombinant protein was then biotinylated site specific using the AVItag biotinylation technology. |
Function | Binds LDL, the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. In order to be internalized, the receptor-ligand complexes must first cluster into clathrin-coated pits. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus in hepatocytes, but not through a direct interaction with viral proteins. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Vesicular stomatitis virus. (Microbial infection) In case of HIV-1 infection, may function as a receptor for extracellular Tat in neurons, mediating its internalization in uninfected cells. |
