B2M/beta 2-Microglobulin Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

Catalog No. TMPK-00019

To assess whether beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) has effects on articular chondrocytes that would implicate B2M involvement in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis.The average B2M level in OA synovial fluid is significantly higher than that found in normal synovial fluid. B2M is highly expressed in OA cartilage and synovial fluid compared to normal, and suggest that B2M may have effects on chondrocyte function that could contribute to OA pathogenesis.

Product Information

Biological Activity	Activity has not been tested. It is theoretically active, but we cannot guarantee it. If you require protein activity, we recommend choosing the eukaryotic expression version first.
Description	To assess whether beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) has effects on articular chondrocytes that would implicate B2M involvement in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis.The average B2M level in OA synovial fluid is significantly higher than that found in normal synovial fluid. B2M is highly expressed in OA cartilage and synovial fluid compared to normal, and suggest that B2M may have effects on chondrocyte function that could contribute to OA pathogenesis.
Species	Human
Expression System	HEK293 Cells
Tag	C-hFc
Accession Number	P61769-1
Synonyms	β-2-microglobulin,Beta-2-microglobulin,B2M/β 2-Microglobulin,B2M
Construction	Ile21-Met119
Protein Purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE; > 95% as determined by HPLC
Molecular Weight	38.4 kDa (predicted). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
Endotoxin	< 1 EU/μg by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from a solution filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, containing PBS (pH 7.4). Typically, 8% trehalose is incorporated as a protective agent before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in distilled water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.
Stability & Storage	It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.
Shipping	In general, Lyophilized powders are shipping with blue ice.
Research Background	To assess whether beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) has effects on articular chondrocytes that would implicate B2M involvement in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis.The average B2M level in OA synovial fluid is significantly higher than that found in normal synovial fluid.
