TCP1, Recombinant, Human (T-complex Protein 1 Subunit alpha, TCP-1-alpha, CCT-alpha, CCT1, CCTA)

TCP1 is a molecular chaperone that is a member of the chaperonin containing TCP1 complex (CCT), also known as the TCP1 ring complex (TRiC). This protein is found in the cytosol as a subunit of a hetero-oligomeric chaperone. It has an important function in maintaining cellular homoeostasis by assisting the folding of many proteins, including the cytoskeletal components actin and tubulin. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-556 of human TCP1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
