B7H6 (B7 homolog 6), also known as NCR3LG1 (Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3 ligand 1), is a single pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the B7 family of the Immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. Among the family members, they share about 20-25% amino acid (aa) identity. Like other B7 family members, B7-H6 contains one Ig V-like and one Ig C-like domain in the extracellular region. Within the ECD, human B7H6 shares 99% aa identity with chimpanzee B7H6 and 53% - 56% with bovine, canine, and equine B7H6. Orthologs in rodents have not been identified. The Ig V-like domain of B7-H6 mediates the interaction with NKp30 (also known as NCR3 and CD337) expressed on NK cells, resulting in natural killer (NK) cell activation and cytotoxicity. B7-H6 does not show binding to other natural killer cell-activating receptors, such as NKp44, NKp46, or NKG2D. Ligation of NKp30 by B7H6 induces NK cell activation and target cell cytolysis. B7-H6 is expressed on a wide range of tumor cells, including T and B-lymphomas, myeloid leukemias, melanomas, carcinomas and large T SV40 antigen-transformed cells, The B7-H6 expression is consistent with the detection of NKp30 binding sites on these tumor cells and correlates with tumor cell sensitivity to NKp30-dependent cell lysis.
Gene Symbol: B7-H6; B7H6; NCR3LG1; DKFZp686O24166
NCBI Gene ID: 374383
Uniprot Entry: Q68D85
Construct Details: Full length human B7-H6 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)
Gene Insert Size: 1365 (bp)

AGTAA
Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
