Description
Description: CHMP2A Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 242 amino acids (1-222 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 27.2 kDa.The CHMP2A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Chromatin modifying protein 2A (CHMP2A) is a member of the SNF7 family and it is a component of the ESCRT III complex, which is required for MVBs (multivesicular bodies) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. The MVB pathway mediates release of transmembrane proteins into the lumen of the lysosome for degradation. The MVB pathway requires the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. ESCRT-III proteins generally detach from the invaginating membrane before the ILV (intraluminal vesicles) is released. ESCRT-III proteins are thought to mediate the basic vesicle extrusion and/or membrane fission activities, probably in conjunction with the AAA ATPase VPS4
