Description
Description: HMGA1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 115 amino acids (1-107 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 12.7kDa (Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher).HMGA1 is fused to an 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: High mobility group protein HMG-I/HMG-Y (HMGA1) belongs to the non-histone chromosomal high mobility group protein (HMG) family. HMGA1 is composed of a highly conserved AT-hook DNA-binding domain which mediates binding to AT-rich sequences in the minor groove of chromosomal DNA. HMGA1 functions as an architectural chromatin-binding transcription factor modifying the conformation of DNA by modulating nuclear protein-DNA complexes. Furthermore, HMGA1 is involved in numerous cellular processes including growth regulation, viral induction of beta-IFN gene and regulation of inducible gene transcription
