C-type lectin domain family 12 member A (CLEC12A), also known as C-type lectin-like molecule 1 (CLL1), dendritic cell-associated lectin 2 (DCAL-2), myeloid inhibitory C-type lectin-like receptor (MICL), killer cell lectin like receptor-1 (KLRL1) and CD371, is a member of the C-type lectin receptor superfamily. C-type lectins are the most diverse and prevalent lectin family in immunity. Particular interest has recently been attracted by the C-type lectin-like receptors on NK cells, which appear to regulate the activation/inhibitory balance of these cells, controlling cytotoxicity and cytokine production. CLEC12A receptor has emerged as a leukemia-associated and cancer stem cell marker in myeloid malignancies. The CLEC12A TriKE induced robust NK-cell specific proliferation, enhanced NK-cell activation, and killing of both AML cell lines and primary patient-derived AML blasts in vitro while sparing healthy HSCs. Specifications Synonyms MICL; CLL-1; CLEC12A; CLL1; DCAL2; DCAL-2; CD371; CD303; CLECSF11; CLECSF7; DLEC; HECL; PRO34150; DCAL-2 Uniprot No. Q5QGZ9-2 Source Recombinant Biotinylated Human CLEC12A/MICL/CLL-1 Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag at the N-terminal and Avi tag at the C-terminal. It contains His65-Ala265. Molecular Weight The protein has a predicted MW of 26.4 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 38-50 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC Endotoxin < 1.0 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Reconstitution Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100μg/mL is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Storage The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year. 2-7 days, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.3 -6 months, -20 to -80°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
