Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
Ninjurin is a protein whose expression is dramatically increased after sciatic nerve transection and crush injuries. The Ninjurin gene encodes for a protein of 152 amino acids with two putative transmembrane domains. Ninjurin was iodinated in vivo and promoted the aggregation of Jurkat cells expressing Ninjurin, indicating a portion of Ninjurin is exposed to the cell surface. The adhesive properties of Ninjurin were energy and temperature dependent, required Ca2+ and Mg2+, and the integrity of the cytoskeleton. Also, the adhesion domain of Ninjurin is located at the extracellular NH2-terminal domain. Although its predicted mass is 16 kDa, Ninjurin migrates as a 18-22 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE, depending on the cell line or tissue. mRNA analysis revealed that Ninjurin is widely expressed with the highest levels in liver, thymus, heart, and the lowest level in brain.
