CHMP4A

SYNONYMS
Charged multivesicular body protein 4A, C14orf123, HSPC134, VPS32A, Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 32-1, chromatin modifying protein 4A, SHAX2, SNF7-1, SNF7 homolog associated with Alix-2, chromosome 14 open reading frame 123, CHMP4B, CHMP4a.

INTRODUCTION
CHMP4A is a member of the SNF7 family and operates as chromatin-modifying protein. CHMP4A is a key component of the endosomal sorting vital for transport complex III (ESCRT-III) which takes part in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. Additionally, during HIV-1 infection, the virus utilizes the ESCRT-III complex to facilitate budding and exocytosis of viral proteins through the connection of CHMP4 and a protein engaged by HIV-1 p6, which exists in viral Gag assembly and budding. CHMP4A is expressed in higher quantities in skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and heart.

DESCRIPTION
CHMP4A Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 285 amino acids (1-265 and having a molecular mass of 32.0kDa.
CHMP4A is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
