Introduction
Glycophorin C, also known as GYPC, is an integral membrane glycoprotein. GYPC is a minor species which is carried by human erythrocytes, however plays an important role in regulating the mechanical stability of red cells. Numeral glycophorin C mutations have been described. The Gerbich and Yus phenotypes are due to deletion of exon 3 & 2, respectively. The Webb & Duch antigens, also identified as glycophorin D, result from single point mutations of the glycophorin C gene. The glycophorin C protein has very slight homology with glycophorins A & B.
Description
GYPC Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 66 amino acids (1-57a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 7.2kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa). GYPC is expressed with a 6 amino acids His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
