SYNONYMS
CD99 antigen, T-cell surface glycoprotein E2, E2 antigen, Protein MIC2, 12E7, CD99, MIC2, MIC2X, MIC2Y.
INTRODUCTION
CD99, or MIC2 gene product, or E2 antigen is expressed on the cell membrane of some lymphocytes, cortical thymocytes, and granulosa cells of the ovary. The antigen is also expressed by most pancreatic islet cells, Sertoli cells of the testis, and some endothelial cells. Mature granulocytes express very little or no CD99. MIC2 is strongly expressed on Ewing’s sarcoma cells and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumors.
DESCRIPTION
CD99 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 342 amino acids (23-122a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 37.3kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa).
CD99 is expressed with a 239 amino acids hIgG-His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
