Recombinant Human CAST Protein, GST-Tagged

• Cat.No.: CAST-0441H
• Product Overview: Human CAST full-length ORF (NP_775083.1, 1 a.a. - 686 a.a.) recombinant protein with GST-tag at N-terminal.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Wheat Germ
• Tag: GST
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is an endogenous calpain (calcium-dependent cysteine protease) inhibitor. It consists of an N-terminal domain L and four repetitive calpain-inhibition domains (domains 1-4), and it is involved in the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein. The calpain/calpastatin system is involved in numerous membrane fusion events, such as neural vesicle exocytosis and platelet and red-cell aggregation. The encoded protein is also thought to affect the expression levels of genes encoding structural or regulatory proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
