Molecular Characterization

Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. This protein was cleaved within the SEA domain between 4243 Gly and 4244 Ser, and was cleaved into N and C-terminal fragment with calculated MW of 12.6 kDa and 18.6 kDa respectively. The protein migrates as 20 kDa and 25-35 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
Membrane mucins have several functions in epithelial cells including cytoprotection, extravasation during metastases, maintenance of luminal structure, and signal transduction. MUC17, contains an extended, repetitive extracellular glycosylation domain and a carboxyl terminus with two EGF-like domains, a SEA module domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with potential serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites. Interacts via its C-terminus with PDZK1 and this interaction appears important for proper localization. Probably plays a role in maintaining homeostasis on mucosal surfaces.
