The Recombinant Human CD48 Protein manufactured by Seafrom is suitable for immune cell interactions and responses. CD48 antigen, also known as signaling lymphocyte activation molecule 2 (SLAMF2), SLAM family member 2, leukocyte antigen MEM-102, BCM1 surface antigen, and B-lymphocyte activation marker BLAST-1, is a 65 kDa GPI-linked protein. It belongs to the CD2 subfamily of molecules within the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD48 antigen comprises two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains and two Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. CD48 interacts with CD244 in a heterophilic manner. CD48 serves as the ligand for CD2. It may facilitate interactions between activated lymphocytes and participate in the regulation of T-cell activation. Storage information for lyophilized products: They can be stored at 4°C for 24 months, and the liquid after reconstitution can be stored at -20°C for 6-12 months, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
