Recombinant human HMGB2 protein

High mobility group protein B2, also known as HMGB2, is a member of the non-histone chromosomal high-mobility group protein family. The proteins of this family are chromatin-associated and ubiquitously distributed in the nucleus of higher eukaryotic cells. In vitro studies have demonstrated that this protein is able to efficiently bend DNA and form DNA circles. These studies suggest a role in facilitating cooperative interactions between cis-acting proteins by promoting DNA flexibility. This protein was also reported to be involved in the final ligation step in DNA end-joining processes of DNA double-strand breaks repair and V (D) J recombination. Recombinant human HMGB2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in Baculovirus and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
