Recombinant human VPS25 protein

VPS25, also known as vacuolar protein-sorting-associated protein 25, consists of the ESCRT-II complex (endosomal sorting complex required for transport II), which is required for multivesicular body (MVB) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates delivery of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The ESCRT-II complex is involved in the recruitment of the ESCRT-III complex. The ESCRT-II complex may play a role in transcription regulation, possibly via its interaction with ELL. Recombinant human VPS25 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
