Amino acids 20-91 constitute the expression domain of recombinant Human GYPA. The calculated molecular weight for this GYPA protein is 34.9 kDa. This protein is generated in a e.coli-based system. The GYPA gene fragment has been modified by fusing the N-terminal GST tag, providing convenience in detecting and purifying the recombinant GYPA protein during the following stages.
Glycophorin (GYPA) is a glycoprotein expressed on the surface of red blood cells and plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the erythrocyte membrane. GYPA is a member of the glycophorin gene family and contains N-linked glycosylation sites, contributing to the carbohydrate composition of the cell membrane. GYPA serves as a receptor for the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum, aiding in its invasion of red blood cells. Besides its involvement in malaria pathogenesis, GYPA also participates in blood group antigen formation and is a target for antibodies in autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Understanding the function of GYPA is essential for elucidating erythrocyte biology, host-pathogen interactions, and blood-related disorders.There are currently no reviews for this product.
