Description
ARL11(ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 11), is a member of the ARF family of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases that are known to be involved in multiple regulatory pathways altered in human carcinogenesis. ARFs are highly conserved guanine nucleotide binding proteins that enhance the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of choleratoxin. ARFs are important in eukaryotic vesicular trafficking pathways and they play an essential role in the activation of phospholipase D (PC-PLD). ARL11 is thought to function as a tumor suppressor that may play a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Recombinant human ARL11 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
