Recombinant Human DnaJ (Hsp40) Homolog, Subfamily B, Member 8

Source : Escherichia Coli. DNAJB8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 252 amino acids (1-232 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 27.8kDa.DNAJB8 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 8 (DNAJB8) is superior suppressors of aggregation and toxicity of disease-associated polyglutamine proteins.DNAJB8 is a member of the DNAJ/HSP40 family of proteins that regulate chaperone activity. DNAJB8 is (de) acetylated at 2 conserved C-terminal lysines which aren't involved in substrate binding, but do have a role in suppressing protein aggregation. DNAJB8 has been implicated as a cancer-testis antigen and as a cancer stem-like cell antigen involved in renal cell carcinoma.
