MOMP Protein, Chlamydophila psittaci, Recombinant (His)

In elementary bodies (EBs, the infectious stage, which is able to survive outside the host cell) provides the structural integrity of the outer envelope through disulfide cross-links with the small cysteine-rich protein and the large cysteine-rich periplasmic protein. It has been described in publications as the Sarkosyl-insoluble COMC (Chlamydia outer membrane complex), and serves as the functional equivalent of peptidoglycan.; Permits diffusion of specific solutes through the outer membrane. MOMP Protein, Chlamydophila psittaci, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 45.4 kDa and the accession number is Q00087.
