Recombinant Human RNA Binding Motif Protein 17

Source : Escherichia Coli. RBM17 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 421 amino acids (1-401 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 47.1kDa.RBM17 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. RNA binding motif protein 17 (RBM17) is a splice factor which binds to the single stranded 3'AG at the exon/intron border and promotes its utilization in the 2nd catalytic step. The RBM17 protein is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing and the utilization of cryptic splice sites. RBM17 protein also stimulates the utilization of a cryptic splice site created by the beta-110 mutation in the HBB gene. The ensuing frameshift leads to sickle cell anemia.
