Calretinin, CR, CALB2, CAB29, CAL2, CaBP29K, 29 kDa calbindin.
INTRODUCTION
Calretinin is an intracellular calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily characterized by a structural motif described as the EF-hand domain. The immunohistochemical detection of calretinin in developing cerebellum is restricted to the later stages indicated by weak staining from week 21 of gestation, in Purkinje and basket cells and in neurons of the dentate nucleus. The intensity of staining increases as the cerebellum matures. In tumors, calretinin has been detected in mesotheliomas and some pulmonary adenocarcinomas.
DESCRIPTION
CALB2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 291 amino acids (1-271 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33.7kDa.
The CALB2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
