Description
SDHAF2 is a mitochondrial protein needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit required for activity of the complex. Defects in SDHAF2 are the cause of hereditary paragangliomas type 2 (PGL2), also known as familial non-chromaffin paragangliomas type 2. Paragangliomas refer to rare and mostly benign tumors that arise from any component of the neuroendocrine system. Recombinant human SDHAF2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
