INTRODUCTION
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain (CD247) is a member of the CD3Z/FCER1G family. CD247 is T-cell receptor zeta, which along with T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, and also with CD3-gamma, -delta and -epsilon, creates the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex. The zeta chain has a central role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. Low expression of the CD247 antigen causes impaired immune response.
DESCRIPTION
CD247 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 122 amino acids (52-164a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 14.1kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 13.5-18kDa). CD247 is expressed with an 9 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
