Active Recombinant Full Length Human MAP2K4 Protein, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: MAP2K4-5287HF
• Product Overview: Full-length human MAP2K4 [1-399(end) amino acids of accession number NP_003001.1] was co- expressed as N-terminal GST-fusion protein (71 kDa) with human His-tagged MAP3K3 [1-626(end) amino acids of accession number NP_002392.2] using baculovirus expression system. GST-MAP2K4 was purified by using glutathione sepharose chromatography.

Specification

• Source: Insect (sf21)
