CFHR2 (Complement factor H-related protein 2) is a secreted glycoprotein with 4 conserved Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains in the extracellular region. Sushi is a motif of ~60 amino acids characterized by a framework of 4 conserved half-cystine residues (1-3 and 2-4 disulfide-bonded) and several other highly conserved residues including proline, tryptophan, tyrosine/phenylalanine and cysteine. This type of structure, also designated SCR (Short Consensus Repeat), is predominantly present in proteins associated with the complement system. CFHR2 is also a member of the complement factor H (CFH) gene family, and encodes one of the 5 CFH-related (CFHR) proteins. These 5 genes are closely linked to the CFH gene on chromosome 1q31-q32. The CFHRs are secreted plasma proteins synthesized primarily by the liver and composed of highly-related SCRs. Mutations in CFHR genes have been associated with dense deposit disease and atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome.  CFHR2 may be involved in complement regulation. The dimerized forms of CFHR2 have avidity for tissue-bound complement fragments and efficiently compete with the physiological complement inhibitor CFH. CFHR2 can associate with lipoproteins and may play a role in lipid metabolism.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: CFHR2; FHR2; HFL3; CFHL2

 

NCBI Gene ID: 3080

 

Uniprot Entry: Q03591

 

Construct Details: Full length human CFHR2 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, 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. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, 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: 813 (bp)

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’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-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.
