| Description |
PCBP1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 186 amino acids (1-163) and having a molecular mass of 19.6 kDa.PCBP1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
PCBP1 is a single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein that binds preferentially to oligo dC. PCBP1 plays a role in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability. PCBP1 along with PCBP-2 and hnRNPK corresponds to the major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein. PCBP1 and PCBP-2 also functions as translational coactivators of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES and promotes poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Poly(rC) binding protein 1, hnRNP-E1, hnRNP-X, HNRPE1, HNRPX, Alpha-CP1, Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1, Nucleic acid-binding protein SUB2.3, PCBP1. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
