Recombinant Rat Musk Protein, mIgG2a tagged

• Cat.No.: Musk-44R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat Musk Protein (Glu22-Thr494) with Mouse IgG2a (Glu98-Lys330) Fc tag at C-terminus was expressed in Mouse myeloma cell line.

Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: Mouse myeloma cell
• Tag: mIgG2a
• Protein Length: 22-494aa
• Description: Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of synaptic transmission; and sensory organ development. Located in cell projection; external side of plasma membrane; and neuromuscular junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 9 and fetal akinesia deformation sequence syndrome 1. Orthologous to human MUSK (muscle associated receptor tyrosine kinase).
• Tag: mIgG2a
• Form: Disulfide-linked homodimer
• Bio-activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. In the presence of Recombinant Rat Agrin, immobilized Recombinant Rat MuSK Fc Chimera (2 μg/mL at 100 μL/well) binds Recombinant Human LRP-4 with an ED50 of 0.06-0.3 μg/mL.
• Molecular Mass: 79 kDa
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg by LAL.
• Purity: > 90 %, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Silver Staining and quantitative densitometry by Coomassie® Blue Staining.
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: Glu22
