BLOC1S5 Human

Biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 subunit 5, BLOC-1 subunit 5, Protein Muted homolog, BLOC1S5, MUTED.

Muted homolog (MUTED) is a component of the BLOC-1 complex, a complex which is necessary for normal biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles (LRO), such as platelet dense granules and melanosomes. The BLOC-1 complex is needed to steer membrane protein cargos into vesicles assembled at cell bodies for release into neurites and nerve terminals. In addition, this complex, along with SNARE proteins, is suggested to be involved in neurite extension. MUTED also interacts with pallidin, dystrobrevin binding protein 1 and CNO/cappuccino. MUTED is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in the brain, bone marrow, kidney, and liver and lower levels in the skeletal muscle.

BLOC1S5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 210 amino acids (1-187 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 24kDa.
BLOC1S5 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
