Molecular Mass
Recombinant Human CD200R1 comprises 251 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide and has a predicted molecular mass of 28.2 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, rh CD200R1 migRates as an approximately 50-60 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Background
Inhibitory receptor for the CD200/OX2 cell surface glycoprotein. Limits inflammation by inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory molecules including TNF-alpha, interferons, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in response to selected stimuli. Also binds to HHV-8 K14 viral CD200 homolog with identical affinity and kinetics as the host CD200.
