LECT2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Gly19-Leu151) containing 143 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 16kDa.
Leukocyte Cell-Derived Chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) functions as a chemotactic factor to neutrophils. LECT2 stimulates the proliferation of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. LECT2 is strongly expressed in the liver and weakly in the testis. LECT2 is a secreted, 16kDa protein which serves as a chemotactic factor to neutrophils and stimulates the growth of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. LECT2 protein has a high sequence similarity to the chondromodulin repeat regions of the chicken myb-induced myeloid 1 protein. A polymorphism in the LECT2 gene is linked with rheumatoid arthritis.
It is recommended to add 200µl of deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. LECT2 is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.
