| Description : |
LAIR2 (leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-2; CD306) is a secreted, 131 amino acid (aa) protein that contains one Ig-like C2 type domain, making it a member of the Ig superfamily. When compared to LAIR1, its transmembrane counterpart, LAIR2 shares 83% aa identity across the signal sequence and extracellular domains (1-3). Although one is secreted and the other is membrane-bound, the two LAIR proteins are thought to have arisen from a common gene ancestor and appear to share similar adhesion profiles. This suggests that LAIR2 may compete with LAIR1 for ligand binding (3, 4). A 114 aa alternate splice form of LAIR-2 is truncated at the C‑terminus, but retains the entire Ig domain (1-3). The expression profile of these splice forms, and the presence of orthologs in other species, have not been reported. LAIR2 is a soluble collagen-receptor, and it can be detected in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients, urine of pregnant women, and as well as primary cells (5, 6). In vitro studies have demonstrated LAIR2 can compete with LAIR1 for the same collagen binding site and suggesting LAIR2 may play an important role in immune cell activation (5, 6). LAIR2 can interact with complement component 1q (C1q) and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and act as a complement inhibitor for the treatment and prevention of antibody-mediated allograft rejection and antibody-mediated clinical conditions (7). Our Avi-tag Biotinylated human LAIR2 features biotinylation at a single site contained within the Avi-tag, a unique 15 amino acid peptide. Protein orientation will be uniform when bound to streptavidin-coated surface due to the precise control of biotinylation and the rest of the protein is unchanged so there is no interference in the protein's bioactivity. |
