Description
Description: Cyclophilin-D Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (amino acids 1-370) containing 390 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 42.9kDa. Cyclophilin-D is fused to a 20 aa His Tag at N-terminus and is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Cyclophilin-D is a member of the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) family. PPIases catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and speeds up the protein folding. Cyclophilin-D possess PPIase activity and binds to the immunosuppressant cyclosporin-A. Cyclophilin-D is very well known that its overexpression suppresses the apoptosis in cancer cell. Cyclophilin-D suppresses apoptotic cell death by the use of mitochondrial hexokinase-2 dependent mechanism in cancer cells
