RCN1 Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 341 amino acids (30-331 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 40.4kDa (real molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will be shift up). The RCN1 is fused to 39 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
RCN1 is a calcium-binding protein which binds calcium and controls calcium-dependent activities in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen or post-ER compartment. RCN1 withholds six conserved regions with similarity to a high affinity Ca(+2)-binding motif, the EF-hand. High conservation of amino acid residues outside of these motifs, in relation to mouse reticulocalbin, is consistent with a biochemical function further to that of calcium binding. In human endothelial and prostate cancer cell lines RCN1 protein is localized to the plasma membrane.
