Description
Recombinant Human Syncytin-1(ERVW-1) is a partial length protein expressed with N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged in the E.coli. Its expression region corresponds to 21-443aa of the human ERVW-1. Its purity was determined by SDS-PAGE and reached up to 90% and presented a molecular mass band of 63.0 kDa on the gel. This recombinant ERVW-1 protein may be used to synthesize antibodies against ERVW-1.
ERVW-1, an endogenous retroviral envelope protein, has retained its original fusogenic properties and participates in trophoblast fusion and the formation of a syncytium during placenta morphogenesis, and is involved in fusion of the cytotrophoblast cells to form the syncytial layer of the placenta. It may induce fusion through binding of SLC1A4 and SLC1A5. Diseases associated with ERVW-1 include Multiple Sclerosis and Placental Choriocarcinoma.

Target Background

Function
This endogenous retroviral envelope protein has retained its original fusogenic properties and participates in trophoblast fusion and the formation of a syncytium during placenta morphogenesis. May induce fusion through binding of SLC1A4 and SLC1A5.; Endogenous envelope proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution. Retroviral envelope proteins mediate receptor recognition and membrane fusion during early infection. The surface protein (SU) mediates receptor recognition, while the transmembrane protein (TM) acts as a class I viral fusion protein. The protein may have at least 3 conformational states: pre-fusion native state, pre-hairpin intermediate state, and post-fusion hairpin state. During viral and target cell membrane fusion, the coiled coil regions (heptad repeats) assume a trimer-of-hairpins structure, positioning the fusion peptide in close proximity to the C-terminal region of the ectodomain. The formation of this structure appears to drive apposition and subsequent fusion of membranes.
