Description

The recombinant Human PTMA was expressed with the amino acid range of 1-111. The calculated molecular weight for this PTMA protein is 14.7 kDa. This PTMA recombinant protein is manufactured in yeast. The PTMA gene fragment has been modified by fusing the N-terminal 10xHis tag, providing convenience in detecting and purifying the recombinant PTMA protein during the following stages.

The human prothymosin alpha (PTMA) is a small, acidic protein that plays a role in both the immune system and cell proliferation. PTMA has immunomodulatory properties, influencing the maturation and function of immune cells. It is involved in T-cell development and activation, contributing to the regulation of the immune response. PTMA is associated with cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation. It interacts with proteins involved in DNA synthesis and repair, suggesting a role in maintaining genomic stability. Aberrant expression of PTMA has been observed in various cancers, implicating its involvement in tumorigenesis and progression. It can influence cell survival and proliferation pathways. Research on PTMA extends to understanding its molecular functions, regulatory mechanisms, and its potential as a therapeutic target, particularly in the context of cancer and immune-related disorders.

Target Background

Function

Prothymosin alpha may mediate immune function by conferring resistance to certain opportunistic infections.
