Human EphB4/Eph Receptor B4 (His Tag) recombinant protein

• DataSheet
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously transmembrane ephrin-B family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. Together with its cognate ligand/functional ligand EFNB2 plays a central role in heart morphogenesis and angiogenesis through regulation of cell adhesion and cell migration. EPHB4-mediated forward signaling controls cellular repulsion and segregation form EFNB2-expressing cells. Plays also a role in postnatal blood vessel remodeling, morphogenesis and permeability and is thus important in the context of tumor angiogenesis.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Ala 539) of human EphB4 (NP_004435.3) precursor was expressed with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag.

Human

The recombinant human EphB4 is a monomeric protein. It consists of 535 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 58.5 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the rhEphB4 migrates as an approximately 72 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human EphB4 at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind human EphrinB2 with a linear range of 1-25 ng/ml.
