Introduction
KCTD15 protein is encoded in humans by the KCTD15 gene. KCTD15 is expressed at a high level in the brain and the hypothalamus. The potassium channel KCTD15 was identified as a genetic loci linked to higher than normal BMI in humans along with genes such as GNPDA2, MTCH2, FTO, and TMEM18. SNPs (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) in non-diabetic and diabetic patients showed that FTO was most strongly associated with obesity while MTCH2 and GNPDA2 were still notably associated with higher than normal BMI levels.
Description
KCTD15 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 254 amino acids (1-234 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28.6kDa.
KCTD15 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
KCTD15 protein solution (1mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.4M urea and 10% glycerol.
