ASCC1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. ASCC1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 380 amino acids (1-357) and having a molecular mass of 43.6 kDa.ASCC1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. ASCC1 is a subunit of the triggering signal cointegrator 1 (ASC-1) complex which is a transcriptional coactivator. ASC-1 complex takes a vital part in gene transactivation using various transcription factors such as activating protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB) and serum response factor (SRF) . ASCC1 has an N-terminal KH-type RNA-binding motif, essential for AP-1 transactivation by the ASC-1 complex. Alterations in ASCC1 result in Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
