Molecular Characterization: LIV-1(Phe29-Trp325)6A-His tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 34.4 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of LIV-1-His is approximately 55-70 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human LIV-1 Protein with C-terminal6A-His tagZinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A6 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
