RRAS Recombinant Proteins

Purified recombinant proteins are laboratory research reagents produced through genetic engineering by inserting a specific gene of interest into a host organism and its subsequent expression. Expression systems and host cell lines can vary, which can include mammalian, bacterial, yeast, and insect cells. Unlike native proteins, recombinant proteins allow for precise control over modifications, production, and large-scale synthesis tailored to experimental needs. Recombinant proteins are commonly employed in functional assays to investigate protein interactions, receptor-ligand binding, enzyme activities, and cellular responses, and they serve as standards or controls in immunostaining assays for detecting specific proteins in samples. Additionally, they are used in cell culture to promote cell growth and differentiation for immunology and oncology research, as well as in structural biology to analyze protein structures and dynamics.
