MelA Recombinant Protein

Source : E.coli. melA E. coli Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 474 amino acids (1-451) and having a molecular mass of 53.0kDa.melA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. melA is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 4 family. melA catalyze the hydrolysis of saccharides containing o-1,6, -galactoside bonds. melA catalyze the same reaction in E.coli, human and yeast but is found in different cellular sections: The E.coli melA is a cytoplasmic protein and the human and yeast melA are secretory proteins. Thus, even though the active enzyme from all three species has almost an equal molecular weight, structural resemblances, as well as dissimilarities, are probable.
