Purity ~90% (SDS-PAGE). PLDN (Pallidin) may play a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. It interacts with Syntaxin 13 which mediates intracellular membrane fusion. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. This protein involved in the development of lysosome-related organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet-dense granules. PLDN has been shown to interact with BLOC1S1, STX12, Dysbindin, CNO, BLOC1S2, MUTED and SNAPAP. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-172 from human PLDN, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~21.9kD (192aa) AA
