Human APLP2 Protein, His Tag

Molecular Weight : Human APLP2 protein has a predicted molecular mass of 76.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of APLP2-His is approximately 100-130 kDa due to glycosylation. Molecular Characterization: APLP2 (Gly32-Ser692) 6XHis tag Human APLP2 gene encodes amyloid precursor- like protein 2 (APLP2), which is a member of the APP (amyloid precursor protein) family including APP, APLP1 and APLP2. This protein is ubiquitously expressed. It contains heparin-, copper- and zinc- binding domains at the N-terminus, BPTI/Kunitz inhibitor and E2 domains in the middle region, and transmembrane and intracellular domains at the C-terminus. This protein interacts with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The synergy of this protein and the APP is required to mediate neuromuscular transmission, spatial learning and synaptic plasticity. This protein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
