Recombinant Human Lymphatic Endothelial Hyluronan Receptor-1

Synonyms  Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor 1 precursor, LYVE-1, Cell surface retention sequence-binding protein 1, CRSBP-1, Hyaluronic acid receptor, Extracellular link domain-containing protein. 

Introduction  LYVE-1 has been identified as a major receptor for HA (extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan) on the lymph vessel wall. The deduced amino acid sequence of LYVE-1 predicts a 322-residue type I integral membrane polypeptide 41% similar to the CD44 HA receptor with a 212-residue extracellular domain containing a single Link module the prototypic HA binding domain of the Link protein superfamily. Like CD44, the LYVE-1 molecule binds both soluble and immobilized HA. However, unlike CD44, the LYVE-1 molecule colocalizes with HA on the luminal face of the lymph vessel wall and is completely absent from blood vessels. Hence, LYVE-1 is the first lymph-specific HA receptor to be characterized and is a uniquely powerful marker for lymph vessels themselves. 

Recombinant Human Lymphatic Endothelial Hyluronan Receptor-1Description  Soluble LYVE1 Human Recombinant fused to a GST-tag produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide containing 243-323 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 36 kDa.

The LYVE-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 

Source  Escherichia Coli. 

Physical Appearance  Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
