Pentraxin 3, 18-381 aa, Human, His-tagged, Recombinant, E.coli

Pentraxin 3(PTX3) is the prototypic member of the long pentraxin family sharing the C-terminal domain with short pentraxins and containing a unique N-terminal domain. Pentraxin 3 is produced and released at inflammatory sites by diverse cell types including monocytes/macrophages, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes. It plays a role in the regulation of innate resistance to pathogens, inflammatory reactions, possibly clearance of self-components and female fertility. Recombinant human Pentraxin 3 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
