Introduction
Complement Factor D (Adipsin), which belongs to the trypsin family of peptidases, is involved in the alternative complement pathway of the complement system where it cleaves factor B. In the alternative complement pathway, Adipsin is best known for its role in humoral suppression of infectious agents. In addition, Adipsin is a serine protease which is secreted by adipocytes into the bloodstream. Ultimately, Adipsin has a high level of expression in fat, proposing a role for adipose tissue in immune system biology.
Description
Adipsin produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single,
glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 241 amino acids (21-253a.a.) and
having a molecular mass of 26.01kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at
approximately 28-40kDa).
Adipsin is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at
C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
