Recombinant Human MEP1A protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MEP1A-12H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human MEP1A, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Description: MEP1A, also known as meprin A subunit alpha, is a single-pass type I membrane protein which belongs to the peptidase M12A family. It abundantly expressed in kidney and intestinal epithelial cells, are secreted into the urinary tract and intestinal lumen, and are found in leukocytes and cancer cells under certain conditions. It is capable of proteolytically degrading extracellular matrix proteins, proteolytically processing bioactive proteins, and play a role in inflammatory processes.
