Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol.. Nectin-1, also known as PVRL1, is a poliovirus receptor- related 1 protein which belongs to the nectin family. This protein promotes cell-cell contacts by forming homophilic or heterophilic trans-dimers. Heterophilic interactions have been detected between PVRL1/nectin-1 and PVRL3/nectin-3 and between PVRL1/nectin-1 and PVRL4/nectin-4. It is functions as an entry receptor for herpes simplex virus and pseudorabies virus. Also, PVRL1 has some neurite outgrowth-promoting activity. Recombinant human PVRL1, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
