Purity ~95% (SDS-PAGE). The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring-shaped 20S core structure. The core structure is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. This gene encodes a member of the peptidase T1A family that is a 20S core alpha subunit. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-255 from human PSMA3, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli.
