Recombinant Human MX2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MX2-5018H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human MX2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: MX2 has a nuclear and a cytoplasmic form and is a member of both the dynamin family and the family of large GTPases. The nuclear form is localized in a granular pattern in the heterochromatin region beneath the nuclear envelope. A nuclear localization signal (NLS) is present at the amino terminal end of the nuclear form but is lacking in the cytoplasmic form due to use of an alternate translation start codon. This protein is upregulated by interferon-alpha but does not contain the antiviral activity of a similar myxovirus resistance protein 1.
