Recombinant Human CD59 Protein, GST-Tagged

• Cat.No.: CD59-0836H
• Product Overview: Human CD59 full-length ORF (NP_000602.1, 1 a.a. - 128 a.a.) recombinant protein with GST-tag at N-terminal.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein that regulates complement-mediated cell lysis, and it is involved in lymphocyte signal transduction. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex, whereby it binds complement C8 and/or C9 during the assembly of this complex, thereby inhibiting the incorporation of multiple copies of C9 into the complex, which is necessary for osmolytic pore formation. This protein also plays a role in signal transduction pathways in the activation of T cells. Mutations in this gene cause CD59 deficiency, a disease resulting in hemolytic anemia and thrombosis, and which causes cerebral infarction. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode the same protein, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Q&As

How to explain the role of CD59 in hemolytic disease?

In hemolytic diseases, the deficiency or dysfunction of CD59 may lead to excessive lysis of red blood cells because the formation of the complement C5b-9 complex cannot be effectively prevented.

Are there differences in CD59 expression levels in different types of cells?

Yes, the expression level of CD59 can vary in different cell types. In general, it is expressed higher in blood cells and some tumor cells.

What are some of the technical challenges that laboratories may encounter when researching CD59?

When researching CD59, laboratories may encounter technical challenges such as selecting the appropriate assay, ensuring the quality and consistency of samples, and the complexity of interpreting results. In addition, CD59 expression variations in different cell types and experimental conditions need to be considered.

What diseases are associated with aberrant expression of CD59?

Aberrant expression of CD59 has been associated with a variety of diseases, including but not limited to hemolytic diseases, certain types of cancer, and autoimmune diseases.

How can I measure CD59 expression in the laboratory?

CD59 expression can be detected using flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, or western blotting.

Is there a current treatment for CD59?

The current treatment for CD59 is still in the research stage, and there is no drug approved for clinical use. However, some studies are exploring the use of gene therapy or antibody therapy to modulate CD59 expression or function.
