Purity: > 80% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 10% glycerol. VCAM1 is a member of the Ig superfamily and is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium. This type I membrane protein mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction, and may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Recombinant human VCAM1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
