Recombinant Mouse Exodus-2 (CCL21A)

• Description:

  Exodus-2 has a unique 36 (murine) or 37 (human) amino acid carboxyl-terminal extension not seen in other chemokines. Exodus-2 selectively stimulates the chemotaxis of adult T-lymphocytes and is expressed preferentially in lymph node tissue. Exodus-2 is critical for adult T-cell adhesion to high endothelial venules in lymph nodes, a rate-limiting step for T cell trafficking through nodal tissue.

• CAS Number:

  9000-83-3

• Gene Name:

  CCL21A

• Gene Aliases:

  C-C motif chemokine 21a, 6Ckine, Beta-chemokine exodus-2, Small-inducible cytokine A21a, Thymus-derived chemotactic agent 4, TCA4, Scya21, Scya21a, Ccl21a

• Gene ID:

  65956

• Accession Number:

  P84444

• Organism:

  Mouse

• Source:

  E. coli

• Concentration:

  <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.

• Purity:

  >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE

• Solubility:

  A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.

• Function:

  Determined by its ability to chemoattract total lymphocyte population using a concentration range of 10-100 ng/mL.

• Molecular Weight:

  12

• Shipping Conditions:

  Ambient Temperature

• Storage Conditions:

  The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

• Appearance:

  Lyophilized Powder

• Formulation:

  Recombinant mouse Exodus-2 was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS solution.
