Gene name
NKG2A
-
简介
The NKG2A protein is an important immunosuppressive receptor that forms a complex with KLRD1 on lymphocyte subsets for self-non-self discrimination. It recognizes HLA-E loaded with self-peptides, monitors MHC class I expression in healthy cells, and promotes self-tolerance. NKG2A Protein, Cynomolgus/Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant Rhesus Macaque-derived NKG2A protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-hFc labeled tag.

Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life

Protein Description
NKG2A is an inhibitory receptor primarily expressed on natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells, playing a crucial role in regulating immune responses. It interacts with its ligand, HLA-E, which presents peptides derived from major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. This interaction is vital for maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Research on NKG2A has gained traction due to its implications in cancer immunotherapy; tumors often exploit this pathway to evade immune detection by upregulating HLA-E expression, leading to decreased NK cell activity. Consequently, targeting NKG2A via monoclonal antibodies has emerged as a promising strategy in enhancing anti-tumor responses, making it a focal point in studies aimed at improving cancer treatment efficacy. Recent advancements in recombinant protein technology have facilitated the production of NKG2A-Fc fusion proteins, which can be used to block NKG2A’s inhibitory signals and restore NK cell function against malignancies. These innovations not only enhance our understanding of the immune evasion mechanisms employed by tumors but also pave the way for novel therapeutic interventions that can potentially improve patient outcomes in immuno-oncology.
