GREM1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. GREM1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 183 amino acids (25-184) and having a molecular mass of 20.7 kDa. GREM1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. GREM1 belongs to the BMP (bone morphogenic protein) antagonist family. Like BMPs, BMP antagonists comprise cystine knots and usually form homo- and heterodimers. The CAN (cerberus and dan) subfamily of BMP antagonists, to which GREM1 belongs, is characterized by a C-terminal cystine knot with an eight-membered ring. The antagonistic effect of the secreted glycosylated protein is because of its direct binding to BMP proteins. As an antagonist of BMP, GREM1 takes a place in regulating organogenesis, body patterning, and tissue differentiation. In mouse, GREM1 has been shown to convey the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signal from the polarizing region to the apical ectodermal ridge during limb bud outgrowth. Alternatively merged transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
