Related Product Information for A2m recombinant protein
Alpha-2-macroglobulin is a protease inhibitor and cytokine transporter. It inhibits many proteases, including trypsin, thrombin and collagenase. A2M is implicated in Alzheimer disease (AD) due to its ability to mediate the clearance and degradation of A-beta, the major component of beta-amyloid deposits.

NCBI Description

plays a role in acute phase response; activated form induces a decrease in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) mediated calcium signaling [RGD, Feb 2006]

Uniprot Description

Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme remains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the covalent binding of the protein to the proteinase.

Product Notes

The A2m a2m (Catalog #AAA952649) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli or Yeast or Baculovirus or Mammalian Cell and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 620-750aa, Partial. The amino acid sequence is listed below: LIYDLLPVKD LTGFPQGADQ REEDTNGCVK QNDTYINGIL YSPVQNTNEE DMYGFLKDMG LKVFTNSNIR KPKVCERLRD NKGIPAAYHL VSQSHMDAFL ESSESPTETR RSYFPETWIW DLVVVDSAGV A. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2m), Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
