Description
CD99 (also named MIC2, E2 and thymic leukemia antigen) is the founding member of the CD99 family of molecules. The ECD contains no identifiable motifs, N-linked glycosylation sites, or cysteine residues; it does possess sites for O-linked glycosylation. The cytoplasmic region, albeit short, does have signal transduction capability. Peripheral T cells have only the long isoform, while double-positive thymocytes express both isotypes. What is unclear is the monomeric vs. dimeric status of CD99. In mouse, CD99 reportedly forms disulfide-linked homodimers . In human, however, CD99 is reportedly monomeric if only a type I isoform, and a covalent heterodimer if coexpressing type I and II isoforms. Cells known to express CD99 include fibroblasts, neutrophils, T cells, double-positive thymocytes, CD34+ stem cells, monocytes and endothelial cells. Homophilic interaction between CD99 on the neutrophil and CD99 on the endothelial cell regulates the transendothelial migration of neutrophils during inflammation. Human CD99 is only 48% aa identical to mouse CD99.

|
Source |
Recombinant Human CD99/MIC2 Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag at the N-terminal. It contains Asp23-Asp122. |
|
Molecular Weight |
Approximately 11.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 20-25 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
|
Purity |
> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC. |
|
Endotoxin |
< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
|
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. |
|
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/mL is recommended (usually we use 1 mg/mL solution for lyophilization). Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Storage
Transported with ice packs. Store at -20℃ to -80℃, valid for one year.
After reconstitution, store unopened at -20 to -80°C for 3 to 6 months. After reconstitution, store at 2 to 8°C for 2 to 7 days.。
It is recommended to store in aliquots and freeze for the first use to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
