Description
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma Chromosome Region, Candidate 1 (ASPSCR1) contains a UBX domain and interacts with glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4). ASPSCR1 is a tether, which sequesters the GLUT4 in intracellular vesicles in muscle and fat cells, and redistributes the GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. Translocation t(X;17)(p11;q25) of this ASPSCR1 with transcription factor TFE3 gene ends with a ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion protein in alveolar soft part sarcoma and in renal cell carcinomas.
ASPSCR1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 576 amino acids (1-553) and having a molecular mass of 62.6kDa. ASPSCR1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
