Product Introduction: ADP-ribosylation factor 5 (ARF5) is a small guanine nucleotide-binding protein which enhances the enzymatic activities of cholera toxin. ARF-dependent regulatory mechanisms include the coordination of spectrin interactions with golgi membranes and the connection of actin to the golgi via rho family-dependent G-protein localization and WASP/Arp2/3 complexes. ARF5 is involved in vesicular transport and functioning via phospholipase D activation.
Product Description: ARF5 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids (1-180 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 22.6kDa. ARF5 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
