Molecular Weight
Approximately 19.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 184 amino acids.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
4-1BBL is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family. This receptor contributes to the clonal expansion, survival, and development of T cells. In addition, 4-1BBL expression is found on dendritic cells, follicular dendritic cells, natural killer cells, granulocytes and cells of blood vessel walls at sites of inflammation. CD137 has been shown to interact with TRAF2. The human 4-1BBL gene codes for a 254 amino acid type II transmembrane containing a 28 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 205 amino acid extracellular domain (ECD). The human 4-1BBL ECD shares 32 % and 35 % a.a. identity with Mouse and rat ECD.
