Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ ICAM2 is a member of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) family. All ICAM proteins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins, contain 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains, and bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. This protein may play a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Recombinant human ICAM2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ 0.5 mg/mL in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 0.15 M NaCl, 1 mM DTT and 10% glycerol.
