Description
SYCE3(synaptonemal complex central element protein 3) is major component of the transverse central element of synaptonemal complexes (SCS). The synaptonemal complex is a protein structure that forms between homologous chromosomes (two pairs of sister chromatids) during meiosis and that is thought to mediate chromosome pairing, synapsis, and recombination (crossing-over). This protein required for chromosome loading of the central element-specific SCS proteins, and for initiating synapsis between homologous chromosomes. Recombinant human SYCE3 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
