Amino acids 33-511 form the expressed segment for recombinant HIV-1 env. The calculated molecular weight for this env protein is 69.7 kDa. This env protein is produced using e.coli expression system. The N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of env, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the env recombinant protein in the following steps.
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M subtype B Envelope glycoprotein gp160, commonly referred to as env, is a key structural protein of the HIV-1 virus. Env is initially synthesized as a precursor glycoprotein, gp160, which is subsequently cleaved into two subunits, gp120 and gp41, during viral maturation. Gp120 is responsible for binding to the CD4 receptor on the surface of host immune cells, initiating the viral entry process. Gp41 facilitates the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes, allowing the virus to enter the host cell. The env gene is highly variable, contributing to the extensive diversity of HIV-1, and its genetic variation poses challenges for vaccine development. Understanding the structure and function of the HIV-1 Env glycoprotein is crucial for developing strategies to combat HIV/AIDS, including the design of antiretroviral drugs and vaccines aimed at preventing viral entry and infection.There are currently no reviews for this product.
