Description
Description: FIS1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 142 amino acids (1-122 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 16.3 kDa. FIS1 protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus and is purified by standard chromatography.
Introduction: FIS1 is part of the mitochondrial complex that promotes mitochondrial fission. FIS1 induces cytochrome C discharge from the mitochondrion to the cytosol, eventually leading to apoptosis. FIS1 participates in peroxisomal growth and division. The C terminus is required for mitochondrial localisation, while the N teminus is necessary for mitochondrial fission
