BECN1

SYNONYMS
ATG6, beclin1, VPS30, Coiled-coil myosin-like BCL2-interacting protein, Beclin-1, GT197.

INTRODUCTION
BECN1, Beclin-1 and autophagy-related gene (Atg) 6, is a member of the beclin family. BECN1 has a key role in autophagy and antiviral host defense. Beclin-1 and its binding partner class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), also named Vps34, are vital for the initiation of the formation of the autophagasome in autophagy. Also it is required for the abscission step of cytokinesis.

DESCRIPTION
BECN1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 470 amino acids (1-450 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 54.1kDa.
BECN1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
