Molecular Mass
Recombinant Mouse PIGR consists of 638 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 70.8 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, Recombinant protein migRates as an approximately 90-100 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
Background
This receptor binds polymeric IgA and IgM at the basolateral surface of epithelial cells. The complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. During this process a cleavage occurs that separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment (By similarity).
