Recombinant Human Secretoglobin Family 1D Member 1

Source : Escherichia Coli. SCGB1D1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (a.a 22-90) containing 79 amino acids including a 10 a.a N-terminal His tag. The total molecular mass is 8.8kDa (calculated) . Secretoglobin Family 1D, Member 1 (SCGB1D1) belongs to the lipophilin subfamily, part of the uteroglobin superfamily, and is an ortholog of prostatein (which is the major secretory glycoprotein of the rat ventral prostate gland) . SCGB1D1 binds androgens and other steroids. In addition SCGB1D1 binds chemotherapeutic drugs during the prostate cancer treatment. Steroid hormones regulate the SCGB1D1 transcription. SCGB1D1 is secreted into extracellular space. SCGB1D1 gene product represents one component of a heterodimeric molecule found in human tears whose elution profile is consistent with prostatein (which is a tetrameric molecule comprised of 3 peptide components in heterodimers) .
