Recombinant Human CHRNA1 Protein

Product Name: Recombinant Human CHRNA1 Protein
Catalog #:  hRP-0197
Manufacture:  LD Biopharma, Inc.
Intruduction:

The muscle acetylcholine receptor consists of 5 subunits of 4 different types: 2 alpha isoforms and 1 each of beta, gamma and delta subunits. Human acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha (CHRNA1) encodes an alpha subunit that plays a role in acetlycholine binding/channel gating. This protein has been identified as a major auto-antigen in myasthenia gravis disease.

Human CHRNA1 protein extracellular domain (21-209aa) was constructed with N-terminal His Tag for high level expression. This protein expressed in E. coli as inclusion bodies, refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified.

Gene Symbol:  CHRNA1 (ACHRA; CMS1A; CMS2A; FCCMS; SCCMS)

Applications:

1. May be used as auto-antibodies detection reagent, which will react with sera of Myasthenia Gravis patients.

2. May be used for in vitro CHRNA1 mediated acetlycholine binding / channel gating pathway regulations study by intracellular delivery of this protein with ProRectin reagent.

3. May be used for mapping CHRNA1 protein-protein interaction.

4. As Immunogen for specific antibody development.

Quality Control: Purity: > 90% by SDS-PAGE.
