Background: ADAM8, also known as cell surface antigen MS2 or CD156a, is a member of the ADAM family that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease-like domain. ADAM8 can cleave a variety of substrates and has been shown as a sheddase for the low affinity IgE receptor CD23 and the neural recognition molecule CHL1. Expression and regulation studies suggest that ADAM8 is a novel osteoclast stimulating factor and may play a role in asthma. It can be activated and assayed under the conditions described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Met1-Ser653
Purity: > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Normally 5%-8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.
Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU/mg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
Calculated MW: 71.7 kDa
Observed MW: 60 kDa
