SCD34 LIGAND HUMAN    

CD34 has been widely used as a molecular marker for the identification, isolation, and manipulation of hemopoietic stem cells and progenitors. CD34 can function as a regulator of hemopoietic cell adhesion by mediating the attachment of stem cells to bone marrow stromal cells or other bone marrow components. The full length human CD34 is a 385 amino acid protein, consisting of a 31 amino acid signal sequence, a 74 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain and a 259 amino acid extracellular domain.

CD34 is a highly glycosylated type I membrane protein that is selectively expressed on hematopoietic stem cells and vascular endothelium. Recombinant human sCD34 is a 258 amino acid polypeptide containing only the extracellular domain of the full length CD34 protein.

Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Phosphate, pH 7.5.

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
