Recombinant Human Vps20-Associated 1 Homolog

Source : Escherichia Coli. VTA1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 331 amino acids (1-307 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 36.5kDa.VTA1 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Vps20-associated 1 homolog (VTA1) is a member of the VTA1 family. The VTA1 protein is involved in the endosomal multivesicular bodies (MVB) pathway. Furthermore, VTA1 is interacts with CHMP1B, CHMP2A, CHMP5, VPS4B, KIAA0174 (IST1) and possibly CHMP3. VTA1 is believed to be a cofactor of VPS4A/B, which catalyzes membrane-associated ESCRT-III assemblies. In addition, VTA1 is involved in the sorting and down-regulation of EGFR and also in HIV-1 budding.
