Description
Description: VSTM2L Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 205 amino acids (25-204 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22.6kDa. VSTM2L is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: V-set and transmembrane domain containing 2 (VSTM2L) is a novel modulator of HN neuroprotective activity. VSTM2L colocalizes with HN in distinct brain areas as well as in primary cultured neurons, where it plays a part in the modulation of neuronal viability. When tested in HN neuroprotection bioassays, VSTM2L acts as a potent antagonist of HN neuroprotective activity. The VSTM2L protein is the first example of a secreted antagonist of HN and may have a role in the modulation of HN biological functions
