Description
A DNA sequence encoding the Human CLDN18.2-Nanodisc (Full Length) (P56856-2) (Met1-Val261) was expressed, with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus and a Strep tag at the C-terminus.
Nanodisc is a versatile tool for studying membrane proteins. Using styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer, membrane proteins can be extracted directly from prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems in the absence of detergents to preserve the protein structure and function better. Compared to membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) nanodiscs, SMA nanodiscs also have the advantage of preserving proteins' nature by maintaining native lipids surrounded without introducing any heterologous proteins, which allows studies of protein structure and functions in a native-like environment
