Beta Defensin-2 Mouse Recombinant

The Defensin family are highly similar in their protein sequence and are microbicidal & cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Beta Defensin-1 is an antimicrobial peptide having the resistance of epithelial surfaces to microbial colonization. Beta Defensin-1 has close proximity to Defensin Alpha-1 and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis.
Skin of patients having atopic dermatitis patients and mycosis fungoides (non-lesional and lesional) show lower human Beta Defensin-1 mRNA expression and higher human Beta Defensin-2 and human Beta Defensin-3 mRNA expression.
BBeta Defensin is highly expressed by epithelial cells.
Beta-defensin 1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis.
Variation in human Beta Defensin-1 contributes to asthma diagnosis, with apparent gender-specific effects. Human Beta Defensin-3 is a dimer, while Human BD-1 and Human BD-2 are monomeric. The expression of Human BD1 is correlated with induction profiles in gingival keratinocytes.
The level of expression of human DEFB1 mRNA is lower than that of human BD3 and human BD-2 in reconstructed epidermis.
Human BD1 is down-regulated in human prostatic and renal carcinomas.
Description Beta Defensin-2 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 51 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 5.5kDa.
The BD-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms Beta-defensin 2, BD-2, mBD-2, Defensin beta 2, Defb2, MGC129140, MGC129141.
Source Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence AVGSLKSIGY EAELDHCHTN GGYCVRAICP PSARRPGSCF PEKNPCCKYM K.
Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
The Mouse BD-2 was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity Determined by the ability to chemoattract immature human dendritic cells at a concentration of 10-100ng/ml.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Beta Defensin-2 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
