UL18 & B2M

Source

Biotinylated HHV-5 & Human UL18 & B2M Heterodimer Protein, His,Avitag&Tag Free (ULM-V82W3) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gly 19 - Pro 303 (UL18) & Ile 21 - Met 119 (B2M) (Accession # P08560 (UL18) & P61769 (B2M)).

Predicted N-terminus: Gly 19 (UL18) & Ile 21 (B2M)

Molecular Characterization

Biotinylated HHV-5 & Human UL18 & B2M Heterodimer Protein, His,Avitag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of UL18 and B2M, has a calculated MW of 36.0 kDa (UL18) & 11.7 kDa (B2M). Subunit UL18 carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, followed by an Avi tag (Avitag™) and subunit B2M contains no tag. The protein migrates as 55-95 kda (UL18) and 10 kDa (B2M) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

The protein is designed as a heterodimer.

Labeling

Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.

Background

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes UL18, a viral MHC‑I homolog that mimics human HLA class I molecules. UL18 forms a stable heterodimer with human β2‑microglobulin (B2M), enabling proper folding and high‑affinity interaction with the inhibitory receptor LIR‑1/ILT2 on immune cells. This interaction suppresses NK‑cell activation and contributes to HCMV immune evasion. Recombinant UL18–B2M complexes are widely used to study viral immunomodulation and receptor–ligand interactions.
