LIGHT, Human Recombinant is available at Gentaur for Next week delivery.

Apoptosis inducer

Biomolecule/Target: LIGHT

Alternates names: TNFSF14, HVEM-L, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14, Herpes virus entry mediator ligand, Herpesvirus entry mediator ligand, CD258, LIGHT

Synonyms: TNFSF14, HVEM-L, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14, Herpes virus entry mediator ligand, Herpesvirus entry mediator ligand, CD258, LIGHT

Background Information: LIGHT belongs to the TNF family of ligands, and can signal through the herpes virus entry mediator type A receptor (HVEM, TNFRSF14), LTβR, or bind to a decoy receptor, DcR3. It is expressed in splenocytes, activated PBL, CD+8 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes. LIGHT has the ability to active NFκB, to co-stimulate the activation of lymphocytes and to induce apoptosis in certain human tumor cells. Recombinant human LIGHT has a calculated mass of 19.3 kDa containing 177 amino acid residues. Due to glycosylation LIGHT migrates between 20.0-22.5 kDa by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions.

Reconstitution Instructions: 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.
