Recombinant Human Ephrin-A4

Ephrin-A4 is a glycoinositol phospholipid membrane anchor containing ephrin found in variety of adult tissue such as kidney, lung, colon and ovary. Ephrin-A4 is a ligand for the erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular (Eph) receptor family of tyrosine kinases.¹ Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. Ephrin-A4 encodes an EFNA class ephrin. Ephrin-A4 (s) may play a role in the interaction between activated B lymphocytes and dendritic cells in human tonsils.

Lyophilized

The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Human Ephrin-A4 is Mr 43.7 kDa. However, the actual molecular weight as observed by migration on SDS-PAGE is Mr 50 kDa.

43.7

This recombinant protein was 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives.

This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
