Background

Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, also known asPIGR, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamilyand aFc receptor. The ectodomain of this receptor consists of five units with homology to the variable units of immunoglobulins and a transmembrane region, which also has some homology to certain immunoglobulin variable regions. PIGR is expressed on several glandular epithelia including those of liver and breast. The deduced amino-acid sequence has a length of 764 residues and shows an overall similarity of 56% and 64% with the rabbit and rat counterpart. PIGR mediates transcellular transport of polymeric immunoglobulin molecules, and thus facilitates the secretion ofIgAandIgM. During this process, a cleavage occurs that separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment of PIGR.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Purity

> 97 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Bioactivity

Immobilized rhhuman IgM at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated PIGR with a linear range of 0.94-15 ng/ml. 2. When human human IgM is immobilized at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well), PIGR inhibits 50% binding of biotinylated PIGR (0.062 μg/ml) at the concentration range of 0.03-20 μg/ml.
