Cat. No. : |
RPLP0-198H |
Product Overview : |
Recombinant Human Ribosomal Phosphoprotein P0 (His-tagged) produced inSf9is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain. The protein has a molecular mass of 35,096 dalton. The protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
Description : |
The ribosomal phosphoproteins, also called P protein antigens, are associated with the large ribosomal subunit and therefore are antigenic targets with a cytoplasmic localization. Three P proteins have been described: P0 with a molecular weight of 35 kDa, P1 (19 kDa) and P2 (17 kDa). Autoantibodies against ribosomal P proteins are present in 10 % of SLE patients. If anti-ribosomal P antibodies were to occur in the absence of other typical SLE associated autoantibodies, they may account for some patients with so-called ANA-negative lupus. It has been reported that lupus patients positive for anti-ribosomal P autoantibodies have a high frequency of CNS involvement, suggesting a marker use for these antibodies. |
