LECT1 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is. a single polypeptide chain containing 143 amino acids (214-333) and having a molecular mass of 16.2kDa. LECT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Leukocyte Cell Derived Chemotaxin 1 (214-333 a.a.), also known as LECT1, is a glycosylated transmembrane protein which is cleaved to form a mature, secreted protein. The mature protein encourages chondrocyte growth and inhibits angiogenesis. The mature protein takes part in endochondral bone development by permitting cartilaginous anlagen to be vascularized and replaced by bone. LECT1 is expressed in the avascular area of prehypertrophic cartilage and its expression reduces during vascular invasion and chondrocyte hypertrophy.
