Biochem/physiol Actions

CD30 ligand (CD30L) is a type-II membrane-associated glycoprotein protein belonging to the TNF superfamily and is expressed primarily on certain B cells, T cells, and monocytes. Recombinant human soluble CD30L (sCD30L) is a 188 amino acid polypeptide corresponding to the extracellular domain, and contains an 8 residue N-terminal His -Tag.

General description

CD30L binds specifically to CD30 (receptor), which is expressed on activated, but not resting, B and T cells, in lymphomas and various chronically inflamed tissues. CD30L/CD30 interactions initiate a signaling cascade that can ultimately lead to the activation of NF-KappaB. CD30L/CD30 signaling exerts pleiotropic effects on normal cells, including cell death, differentiation, or cell division. Certain diseases, including Hodgkins’;s lymphoma, allergic inflammation, diabetes (in NOD mice), and mycobacterial infection can also be affected by CD30L/CD30 signaling. The CD30L gene encodes for a 234 amino acid type II transmembrane protein, which contains a 37 amino acid cytoplasmic sequence, a 25 amino acid transmembrane domain and a 172 amino acid extracellular domain.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 1x PBS.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
