Biochem/physiol Actions

TECK is a CC chemokine, specifically expressed by thymic stromal cells, and signals through the CCR9 receptor. Recombinant human TECK is a 14.2 kDa protein containing 127 amino acid residues, including the four conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

General description

TECK is a CC chemokine, specifically expressed by thymic stromal cells, and signals through the CCR9 receptor. TECK is chemotactic towards activated macrophages, thymocytes and dendritic cells. Recombinant human TECK is a 14.2 kDa protein containing 127 amino acid residues, including the four conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

Physical form

Lyophilized with no additives.

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.
