hRP-0197 | Recombinant Human CHRNA1 Protein | $300 |
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. |
