PPIL1 Human Recombinant protein produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 174 amino acids (1-166) and having a molecular mass of 19.3 kDa. PPIL1 is fused to 8 amino acid His Tag at C-terminus and is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
PPIL1 belongs to the cyclophilin family of peptidylprolyl isomerases (PPIases).
The cyclophilins are a well conserved, ubiquitous family, members of which take an significant part in protein folding, immunosuppression by cyclosporin A, and infection of HIV-1 virions. PPIL1 protein increases the folding of proteins and catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides. PPIL1 is involved in proliferation of cancer cells through modulation of phosphorylation of stathmin. PPIL1 is a novel molecular target for colon-cancer therapy.
