CEACAM 6, Recombinant, Human (Carcinoembryonic Antigen Related Cell Adhesion Molecule)

*Activity: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of 1 M calcium ionosphere treated human neutrophils. When 2x10e5 cells/well are added to CEACAM-6-coated plates (10ug/ml, 100ul/well), 35-60% of the cells will adhere after 20 minutes at 37 degree C.; *Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile PBS be added to the vial to prepare a working stock solution of no less than 100ug/ml. The carrier-free protein should be used immediately upon reconstitution to avoid losses in activity due to non-specific binding to the inside surface of the vial. For long term storage as a dilute solution, a carrier protein (e.g. 0.1% HSA or BSA) should be added to the vial. ; *Storage: Lyophilized samples are stable for up to twelve months at -20 degree C. Upon reconstitution, this protein, in the presence of a carrier protein, can be stored under sterile conditions at 2-8 degree C for one month or at -20 degree C in a manual defrost freezer for three months without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.; *Accession#: NP_002474.3; NM_002483.4; P40199; *Description: Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM-6), previously called nonspecific crossreacting antigen (NCA) or CD66c, is one of seven human CEACAM family members within the immunoglobulin superfamily (1-4). In humans, CEACAMs include type I transmembrane proteins (CEACAM-1, -3, and -4) and GPI-linked molecules (CEACAM-5 through -8) (1). There is no human CEACAM-2. Human CEACAM-6 is a 90 kD, GPI-linked membrane protein that contains a 34 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 286 aa extracellular domain (ECD), and a 24 aa hydrophobic C-terminal propeptide. The GPI membrane anchor is attached at the C terminus following cleavage of the propeptide. CEACAM-6 contains one N-terminal V-type Ig-like domain (N domain), followed by two C2-type Ig-like domains (2-4). It shows considerable glycosylation, including (sialyl) Lewis X, which mediates binding to...
