Overview
Recombinant Human Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type substrate 1 (SIRPA), partial, Biotinylated is a recombinant protein preparation from Homo sapiens (Human) designed for use in assay development, binding studies, and functional characterization. Key attributes such as expression system, expressed region, and affinity tag(s) help researchers match the reagent to specific experimental readouts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Expression system: Mammalian cell expression is commonly used for rapid, scalable production. For targets that require glycosylation or other post-translational modifications, consider how a prokaryotic system may affect folding or activity.
- Expression region: The expressed fragment (31-370aa) focuses the reagent on a defined domain/segment, which can influence binding interfaces and epitope availability.
- Tag(s)/format: His tags can support purification and detection in pull-down or binding assays; confirm that the tag position does not interfere with the interaction of interest.
- Purity: ≥90% (SDS-PAGE) provides a quick checkpoint for reagent quality in downstream analytical workflows.
- Form: Supplied as Liquid or Lyophilized powder; select the format that best fits your lab’s handling and aliquoting preferences.
Recombinant design choices (expression host, fragment boundaries, and tag configuration) help balance yield, solubility, and assay compatibility. Choose conditions and controls that match the recombinant format to your experimental question.
Biological background
SIRPA has been reported to be involved in Immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptor for CD47. Acts as docking protein and induces translocation of PTPN6, PTPN11 and other binding partners from the cytosol to the plasma membrane. Supports adhesion of cerebellar neurons, neurite outgrowth and glial cell attachment. May play a key role in intracellular signaling during synaptogenesis and in synaptic function. Involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled cellular responses induced by cell adhesion, growth factors or insulin. Mediates negative regulation of phagocytosis, mast cell activation and dendritic cell activation. CD47 binding prevents maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells.. When interpreting results, consider species context, domain architecture, and whether the recombinant format represents full-length or a defined region.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling cytokine/chemokine pathways with standardized recombinant reagents to compare conditions across experiments.
- Receptor–ligand binding characterization to support pathway modeling and assay development.
Common research applications
- Binding and interaction assays: quantify partner binding and rank conditions using plate-based formats or biophysical methods (SPR/BLI).
- Enzymology: assess catalytic activity and compare substrate preferences or inhibitor effects using appropriate controls.
- Assay development: use as a standard, spike-in control, or positive control where consistent specifications are required.
Interpretation typically relies on relative comparisons (treated vs control, mutant vs wild-type, or dose/time series) using consistent sample handling and appropriate normalization.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Post-translational modifications: expression system can affect glycosylation and processing; interpret differences cautiously when comparing to native protein.
- Isoforms and domains: expressed regions may not capture all isoform-specific features; match fragment boundaries to your assay’s binding site.
- Controls: include blank matrix controls, tag-only controls (where relevant), and orthogonal readouts (e.g., WB/qPCR/ELISA) to support interpretation.
