| Introduction |
CASQ2 belongs to the calsequestrin family and is localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle cells. CASQ2 is a calcium binding protein that stores calcium for muscle function. The discharge of calcium bound to CASQ2 through a calcium release channel activates muscle contraction. CASQ2 binds 40 to 50 moles of calcium. CASQ2 mutations result in stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also called catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 which is known fir its bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that causes cardiac arrest. |
| Description |
CASQ2 Human Recombinant fused to 37 amino acid His Tag at N-terminal produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 417 amino acids (20-399 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 48.4 kDa. The CASQ2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Source |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear colorless solution. |
| Formulation |
The CASQ2 solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT and 20% glycerol. |
