Recombinant Human Split Hand/Foot Malformation Type 1

Source : Escherichia Coli. SHFM1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 93 amino acids (1-70 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 10.7kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear higher) .SHFM1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 26S proteasome complex subunit DSS1 (SHFM1) has been suggested as a candidate gene for the autosomal dominant form of the heterogeneous limb developmental disorder split hand/split foot malformation type 1. SHFM1 is a subunit of the 26S proteasome which plays a part in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. SHFM1 binds and stabilizes BRCA2 and is therefore involved in the control of R-loop-associated DNA damage and thus transcription-associated genomic instability. Furthermore, SHFM1 may have a role in the completion of the cell cycle. SHFM1 is a component of the TREX-2 complex (transcription and export complex 2), comprised of at least ENY2, GANP, PCID2, DSS1, and either centrin CETN2 or CETN3.
