Introduction
Melanoregulin
(MREG) takes part in membrane fusion and in regulating the biogenesis of disk
membranes of photoreceptor rods. MREG is expressed in photoreceptor cells as
two isoforms as a result of alternative splicing. MREG interacts with
Peripherin-2, a photoreceptor specific tetraspanin protein which is required to
preserve normal cell structure during the renewal process of membrane fusion.
Moreover, MREG plays a part in the incorporation of pigments into hair.
Description
MREG Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,
non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (1-214 a.a) and
having a molecular mass of 27.3kDa.
MREG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus
& purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Formulation
MREG protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl
buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 10% glycerol and 1mM DTT.
