Omi, HtrA2, Recombinant, Human

HtrA2 also called Omi is a mammalian serine protease at high temperatures and has a chaperone activity at low temperature. The full-length HtrA2 is synthesized as a precursor protein and then targeted to the mitochondria where it is matured by the removal of N-terminal 133 residues. Mature HtrA2 consists of a putative transmembrane domain, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)-binding motif, a single C-terminal PDZ domain that mediates protein-protein interactions. Recently, HtrA2 has known to contribute both to caspase-dependent and caspase-independent cell death. Recombinant Human HtrA2 amino acids 134-458 His-Tag fusion proein produced in E.Coli is a single,non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 32kD. , Sequence: , MAVPSPPPAS PPSQYNFIAD VVEKTAPAVV YIEILDRHPF LGREVPISNG SGFVVAADGL IVTNAHVVAD RRRVRVRLLS GDTYEAVVTA VDPVADIATL RIQTKEPLPT LPLGRSADVR QGEFVVAMGS PFALQNTITS GIVSSAQRPA RDLGLPQTNV EYIQTDAAID FGNAGGPLVN LDGEVIGVNT MKVTAGISFA IPSDRLREFL HRGEKKNSSS GISGSQRRYI GVMMLTLSPS ILAELQLREP SFPDVQHGVL IHKVILGSPA HRAGLRPGDV ILAIGEQMVQ NAEDVYEAVR TQSQLAVQIR RGRETLTLYV TPEVTEGSHH HHHH, Storage and Stability: For long-term storage, store at -20°C.
