Background
CD90, also known as Thy1, is an approximately 25-35 kDa glycoprotein that mediates cellular adhesion and exerts wide ranging effects in different tissues. CD90 is expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells, neurons, and activated vascular endothelial cells. Its species-specific expression in lymphoid cells allows its use as a thymocyte and pan T cell marker in mouse but not in human. CD90 can form dimers and higher order multimers. It binds to heparin, the proteoglycan Syndecan-4, and Integrins alpha M beta 2, alpha V beta 3, and alpha V beta 5. Through these interactions, CD90 inhibits neurite outgrowth, promotes astrocyte adhesion, mediates the adhesion and extravasation of leukocytes and melanoma cells, supports the Thrombospondin-1 induced disassembly of fibroblast focal adhesions, and inhibits the activation of latent TGF-beta 1, myofibroblast differentiation, and lung fibrosis. Human Thy-1 shares 63% and 66% amino acids similarity with mouse and rat homolog.

Usage guide
Storage | Store at -20℃.Store the lyophilized protein at -20℃ to -80 ℃ up to 1 year from the date of receipt. After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20℃ for 3 months, at 2-8℃ for up to 1 week. |
---|
Reconstitution | Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles. |
