PDCD6 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 211 amino acids (1-191a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 24.0 kDa. PDCD6 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
PDCD6 is a calcium-binding protein and is a member of the penta-EF-hand protein family. Calcium binding is vital for homodimerization and for conformational changes essential for binding to other protein partners. PDCD6 takes part in T cell receptor-, Fas-, and glucocorticoid-induced programmed cell death. However, tests showed that in mice deficient for PDCD6, apoptosis was not blocked which suggests that PDCD6 is functionally redundant.
