SYNONYMS
Calponin 2, Calponin H2, Smooth Muscle, Neutral Calponin, calponin-2.
INTRODUCTION
Calponin 2 also known as CNN2 protein is capable of binding actin, calmodulin, troponin C, and tropomyosin, and also function in the structural organization of actin filaments. Furthermore, the interaction of CNN2 with actin inhibits the actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity. CNN2 takes part in smooth muscle contraction and cell adhesion. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
DESCRIPTION
CNN2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 154 amino acids (1-131 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 16.9kDa.CNN2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
