INTRODUCTION
Bestrophin 1 (BEST1) is a part of the bestrophin gene family and is also forms calcium-activated chloride-ion channels in epithelial. This small gene family is characterized by proteins with a highly conserved N-terminus with 4-6 transmembrane domains. BEST1 is extremely permeable to bicarbonate.
DESCRIPTION
BEST1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 317 amino acids (292-585) and having a molecular mass of 36 kDa.
BEST1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
