FSCN1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. FSCN1 Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 513 amino acids (1-493 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 56.7 kDa. The FSCN1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. FSCN1 is an actin-bundling protein that is responsible for rigidity to filopodial bundles to efficiently push the membrane forward during cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration. FSCN1 takes part in the gathering of actin filament bundles present in microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers. FSCN1 is absent from most normal epithelia though is upregulated in multiple forms of human carcinoma, where its expression associates clinically with a poor prognosis. FSCN1 expression is abundantly found in neurons, glial cells, and endothelial cells.
