Recombinant Human Visinin-Like Protein-1 His Tag

Source : Escherichia Coli. Visinin-Like Protein-1 Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 201 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23.4 kDa. Visinin-Like Protein-1 is fused to His tag at N-Terminus.The protein's amino acid sequence corrssponds toUniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry P62760.Visinin-Like Protein-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. VSNL1 is a member of the visinin/recoverin subfamily of neuronal calcium sensor proteins. VILIP1 is strongly expressed in granule cells of the cerebellum where it associates with membranes in a calcium-dependent manner and modulates intracellular signaling pathways of the central nervous system by directly or indirectly regulating the activity of adenylyl cyclase. Changes in cellular expression of VSNL1 were found in hipppocampi of schizophrenics, since more interneurons showed immunoreactivity. VILIP1 is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells. VILIP1 elevation enhances insulin secretion in cAMP-associated manner. Down-regulation of VILIP-1 decreased cAMP accumulation but increased insulin gene transcription. VILIP-1 interacts with cell membrane and actin-based cytoskeleton. VSNL1 modulates cAMP-accumulation in C6 glioma cells. HLP3 modulates cGMP-accumulation in transfected neural cells and cerebellar granule neurons.
