Human MSP1D1 Protein, His Tag (Nanodisc)

Membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) are synthetic derivatives of apolipoprotein A-I, a major protein component of human high-density lipoprotein complexes. Membrane scaffold protein 1D1 (MSP1D1) is the most common one among the MSPs variants. MSP1D1 is a synthetic derivate of apolipoprotein A-I, which is the major protein element of human high-density lipoproteins. The amphipathic, synthetic protein has the ability to self-assemble in the presence of synthetic phospholipids into discoidal nanoparticles, so called nanodiscs.

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 24.7 kDa. The protein migrates as 23 kDa and 25 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) .<br> This protein is used together with nanodisc protein as isotype control.
