Recombinant Human Potassium Channel Tetramerisation Domain Containing 15

Source : E.coli. KCTD15 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 254 amino acids (1-234 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28.6kDa.KCTD15 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. KCTD15 protein is encoded in humans by the KCTD15 gene. KCTD15 is expressed at a high level in the brain and the hypothalamus. The potassium channel KCTD15 was identified as a genetic loci linked to higher than normal BMI in humans along with genes such as GNPDA2, MTCH2, FTO, and TMEM18. SNPs (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) in non-diabetic and diabetic patients showed that FTO was most strongly associated with obesity while MTCH2 and GNPDA2 were still notably associated with higher than normal BMI levels.
