SYNONYMS
Neuropilin-1 isoform a, NRP1, BDCA4, CD304, NP1, NRP, VEGF165R, Vascular endothelial cell growth factor 165 receptor.
INTRODUCTION
NRP1 is a coreceptor bound on membranes to tyrosine kinase receptors for semaphorin family proteins and endothelial growth factors, it is a type one transmembrane protein. Neuropilin-1 takes part in cell survival, angiogenesis, invasion, migration, and axon guidance. the protein is a potential target for cancer therapies as it interacts with VEGF (co-receptor).
DESCRIPTION
NRP1 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 843 amino acids (22-856a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 94.8kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 100-150kDa).
NRP1 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
