FCAR/CD89 Protein

Adiponectin(ADPN) is a hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates energy homeostasis and glucose and lipid metabolism. Adiponectin is a new member of the family of soluble defense collagens, in hematopoiesis and immune responses. It is an important negative regulator in hematopoiesis and immune systems and raise the possibility that it may be involved in ending inflammatory responses through its inhibitory functions. Adiponectin is mapped to 3q27 and can protect the organism from systemic inflammation by promoting the clearance of early apoptotic cells by macrophages through a receptor-dependent pathway involving calreticulin. The standard product used in this kit is the product of gene recombination, consisting of 226(19-244) amino acids with the molecular mass of 36KDa after glycosylation.FCAR, also known as Fc alpha RI or CD89, is a 50-100 kDa glycosylated bone marrow-specific type I transmembrane (TM) Fc receptor, which is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. FCAR exists on the surface of myeloid cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and eosinophils, and mediates the immune response to pathogens. It interacts with IgA-regulated targets and triggers a variety of immune defense processes, including phagocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and stimulating the release of inflammatory mediators. This product is made by recombinant expression of human FCAR from HEK293 cell line, purified, sterilized, filtered, packaged and freeze-dried.
