Lys-gingipain 381 Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (His)

Cysteine proteinase with a strong preference for substrates with Lys in the P1 position. Hydrolyzes bovine hemoglobin, bovine serum albumin, casein, human placental type I collagen and human IgA and IgG. Disrupts the functions of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. May act as a virulence factor in the development of peridontal disease. Involved in the coaggregation of P.gingivalis with other oral bacteria. Lys-gingipain 381 Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 44.8 kDa and the accession number is P72194.
