C1QTNF5 Human

CTRP5, MFRP.

Complement C1q Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Protein 5 (C1QTNF5) encodes a short-chain collagen which is expressed mainly in sub-retinal pigment epithelium, ciliary epithelium and adipose tissue. C1QTNF5 is increased in mtDNA-depleted myocytes and stimulates the phosphorylation of AMP activated protein kinase. C1QTNF5 takespart in the adhesion of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to the Bruch Membrane. Mutations in C1QTNF5 have been associated with late-onset retinal degeneration.

C1QTNF5 Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 253 amino acids (16-243.a.a) and having a molecular mass of 26.4kDa. C1QTNF5 Human is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

The C1QTNF5 protein solution (0.25 mg/ml) is formulated in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.5) containing 30% glycerol and 0.2M NaCl.
