SEPT5, also known as septin-5, belongs to the septin gene family of nucleotide binding proteins, originally described in yeast as cell division cycle regulatory proteins. Septins are highly conserved in yeast, Drosophila, and mouse and appear to regulate cytoskeletal organization. Disruption of septin function disturbs cytokinesis and results in large multinucleate or polyploid cells. Purified by using conventional chromatography. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-369 of human SEPT5, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
