Description
Description: SKP Recombinant E Coli produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 162 amino acids (21-161 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.9 kDa. The SKP is fused to a 21 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: SKP is a 17kDa trimeric periplasmic chaperone that supports outer membrane proteins in their folding and insertion into membranes. SKP protein is necessary for the normal release of ompA from the inner membrane, the maintenance of its solubility in the periplasm, and, in association with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for the efficient folding and insertion of ompA into the outer membrane
