| Description |
MZB1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 120 amino acids (1-97) and having a molecular mass of 12.9 kDa.MZB1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Marginal zone B- and B1-cell-specific protein (MZB1) functions as a hormone-regulated adipokine/proinflammatory cytokine which is implicated in causing chronic inflammation, affecting cellular expansion and blunting insulin response in adipocytes. The MZB1 protein may have a role in the onset of insulin resistance. MZB1 links with immunoglobulin M (IgM) heavy and light chains and stimulate s IgM assembly and secretion. MZB1 exerts its effect by acting as a molecular chaperone or as an oxidoreductase as it exhibits a low level of oxidoreductase activity. MZB1 helps to diversify peripheral B-cell functions by regulating Ca(2+) stores, antibody secretion and integrin activation. |
