Anti-HTRA4 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated

This gene encodes a member of the HtrA family of proteases. The encoded protein contains a putative signal peptide, an insulin growth factor binding domain, a Kazal protease inhibitor domain, a conserved trypsin domain and a PDZ domain. Based on studies on other related family members, this enzyme may function as a secreted oligomeric chaperone protease to degrade misfolded secretory proteins. Other human HtrA proteins have been implicated in arthritis, tumor suppression, unfolded stress response, apoptosis, and aging.

E.coli-derived human HTRA4 recombinant protein (Position: A31-D464) . Human HTRA4 shares 68.7% and 68.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat HTRA4, respectively.
