INTRODUCTION
Threonyl-tRNA Synthetase is a member of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family, key enzymes of protein biosynthesis which charge tRNA molecules with the respective amino acids. This 83 kDa protein is an autoantigen recognized by PL-7 antibodies which occur in a subset of patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Preliminary data suggest that PL-7 antibodies (similar to Jo-1 antibodies) indicate an increased risk for lung involvement, but this needs to be confirmed for a larger number of cases.
DESCRIPTION
TARS Human Recombinant produced in SF9 is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 83,312 Dalton.
TARS is expressed with a -6xHis tag and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
