GLTPD1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. GLTPD1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (1-214 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 26.8kDa. GLTPD1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Glycolipid Transfer Protein Domain Containing 1 (GLTPD1) belongs to the GLTP family. GLTPD1 mediates the intracellular transfer of ceramide-1-phosphate between organelle membranes and the cell membrane. GLTPD1 is essential for normal structure of the Golgi stacks. In addition, GLTPD1 is able to bind phosphoceramides with a diversity of aliphatic chains, however GLTPD1 has a preference for lipids with saturated C16:0 or monounsaturated C18:1 aliphatic chains. Moreover, GLTPD1 is inefficient with phosphoceramides which contains lignoceryl (C24:0) . GLTPD1 participates in the regulation of the cellular levels of ceramide-1-phosphate, and in that way contributes to the regulation of phospholipase PLA2G4A activity and the release of arachidonic acid.
