SYNONYMS
Dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide--protein glycosyltransferase subunit 2, Dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide--protein glycosyltransferase 63 kDa subunit, RIBIIR, Ribophorin II, RPN-II, Ribophorin-2, RPN2, SWP1, RPNII.
INTRODUCTION
Ribophorin 2 (RPN2) is a dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide protein glycosyltransferase subunit 2. The Ribophorin 2 protein is part of an N-oligosaccharyl transferase complex which links high mannose oligosaccharides to asparagine residues found in the Asn-X-Ser/Thr consensus motif of nascent polypeptide chains. RPN2 is analogous in sequence to the yeast oligosaccharyl transferase subunit SWP1.
DESCRIPTION
RPN2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 539 amino acids (23-540) and having a molecular mass of 59.2kDa.
RPN2 is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
