Preparation and Storage

Background: LAX1

LAX1 (Linker for activation of X cells) is a 70 kDa member of a small group of T cell transmembrane (TM) adaptor proteins. It is upregulated on both T and B cells after activation, and likely downmodulates both BCR and TCR signaling. Human LAX1 is 398 amino acids (aa) in length. Although its predicted MW is 44 kDa, it runs anomalously at 70 kDa in SDS-PAGE. It is a type III (no signal sequence) TM protein that contains a 37 aa N-terminal extracellular region and a 340 aa cytoplasmic domain (aa 59‑398). There are two potential isoform variants. One has an alternate start site at Met77, while a second shows a 13 aa substitution for aa 1‑29. Over aa 136‑398, human LAX1 is 47% aa identical to mouse LAX1.
