Introduction
CD207 (C-type lectin domain family 4 member K) is expressed in Langerhans cells which are immature dendritic cells of the epidermis and mucosa. Moreover, CD207 is expressed in several other dendritic cell types including dermal CD103+ DCs and splenic CD8+ DCs. Langerin is localized in the Birbeck granules, the organelles present in the cytoplasm of Langerhans cells and comprised of superimposed and zippered membranes. CD207 is a C-type lectin with mannose binding specificity, and it has been suggested that mannose binding by the CD207 protein leads to internalization of antigen into Birbeck granules thus providing access to a nonclassical antigen-processing pathway.
Description
CD207 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 287 amino acids (65-328 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 32.2kDa.
CD207 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
