Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid, In Phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) containing 30% glycerol, 1mM DTT . OTOR also known as Otoraplin, is a member of the melanoma-inhibiting activity gene family. The protein is secreted via the Golgi apparatus and may function in cartilage development and maintenance. A frequent polymorphism in the translation start codon of this gene can abolish translation and may be associated with forms of deafness. Recombinant human OTOR protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
