Recombinant Full Length Human AHNAK Protein, C-Flag-tagged

• Cat.No.: AHNAK-1296HFL
• Product Overview: Recombinant Full Length Human AHNAK Protein, fused to Flag-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in Mammalian cells.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a large (700 kDa) structural scaffold protein consisting of a central domain with 128 aa repeats. The encoded protein may play a role in such diverse processes as blood-brain barrier formation, cell structure and migration, cardiac calcium channel regulation, and tumor metastasis. A much shorter variant encoding a 17 kDa isoform exists for this gene, and the shorter isoform initiates a feedback loop that regulates alternative splicing of this gene.
