NDUFS2 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. NDUFS2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 410 amino acids (77-463a.a) and having a molecular mass of 46.5kDa. NDUFS2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. NDUFS2 is a core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I) which is a part of the minimal assembly required for catalysis. Complex I takes part in the transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. Histidine NADH Dehydrogenase Fe-S Protein 2 (NDUFS2) is required for catalytic activity. Imperfections in NDUFS2 are the source of complex I mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency, which is characterized by many symptoms including liver failure, cardiomyopathy and neurodegeneration.
