Human Recombinant Hepassocin, STEMCELL Technologies (CAT#: STEM-CT-0768-ZJF)

Use hepassocin to bind to lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) in an MHC class II independent manner, and inhibit antigen-specific T-cell activation (Wang et al.). Hepassocin is known to play a restorative role in the liver, reducing apoptosis and accelerating hepatocyte proliferation in vivo (Li et al.). In addition to these hepatoprotective effects, studies have shown that hepassocin expression is upregulated in gastric cancer tissues (Zhang et al.) and in breast cancer cells (Du et al.), suggesting it has potential to predict cancer disease progression. Hepassocin is a member of the fibrinogen superfamily, whose members share a fibrinogen domain at their C-terminus. It is predominantly expressed in the liver, and weakly in the pancreas (Hara et al.), and is secreted as a homodimer that consists of 312 amino acids. Hepassocin is an acute-phase reactant whose expression in HepG2 cells has been shown to be regulated by IL-6 (Liu & Ukomadu). This protein product contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, hepassocin from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥ 87% purity, and endotoxin levels are verified to be ≤ 1.0 EU/μg protein.
