TAGLN Recombinant E.coli produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 221 amino acids (1-201 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 24.8 kDa. The TAGLN is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
TAGLN is a transformation and form-change responsive actin cross-linking/gelling protein that is part of the calponin family. TAGLN is expressed abundantly in fibroblasts and smooth muscle. TAGLN participates in calcium interactions and contractile properties of the cell that contribute to replicative senescence. Throughout embryogenesis, TAGLN is expressed in smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscle, but is limited during late fetal growth and adulthood to all vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells and low levels of expression in heart. TAGLN is downregulated in several transformed cell lines, showing that a decrease of TAGLN expression is an premature indicator of the onset of transformation.
