The expression region of this recombinant Escherichia coli eltB covers amino acids 22-124. This eltB protein is expected to have a theoretical molecular weight of 17 kDa. This eltB protein is produced using e.coli expression system. The N-terminal 6xHis tag and C-terminal 6xHis tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of eltB, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the eltB recombinant protein in the following steps.
The Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin B chain (EltB) is a component of the heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) produced by certain strains of E. coli. LT is a major virulence factor associated with enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), a pathotype known for causing traveler's diarrhea and infantile diarrhea in developing countries. EltB forms a heterohexameric complex with the A subunit (EltA), and together, they constitute the biologically active toxin. EltB is responsible for binding to host cell surface receptors, facilitating the internalization of the toxin into the intestinal epithelial cells. Once inside the cells, the A subunit exerts its toxic effects, leading to an increase in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, which disrupts ion transport and water balance, resulting in diarrhea. Understanding the structure and function of EltB is crucial for developing strategies to prevent ETEC infections.There are currently no reviews for this product.
