SYNONYMS
Calcyphosin, Calcyphosine, CAPS, CAPS1, MGC126562.
INTRODUCTION
Calcyphosine (CAPS) is a calcium-binding protein containing four EF-hand domains. CAPS protein was originally identified as thyroid protein p24 which is found in a number of epithelium and in some cells of the central nervous system. CAPS may have a role in the regulation of ion transport. In the thyroid follicular cells, CAPS is synthesized and phosphorylated in response to stimulation by thyrotropin and cAMP agonists.
DESCRIPTION
CAPS Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 209 amino acids (1-189 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.1kDa. The CAPS is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
