Recombinant Chlamydia pecorum Major outer membrane protein (ompA)
Description
Purity > 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. MW: 54.1kDa. Full Length of Mature Protein: 24-374aa. N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO-tagged. Chlamydia pecorum. In elentary bodies (EBs, the infectious stage, which is able to survive outside the host cell) provides the structural integrity of the outer envelope through disulfide cross-links with the small cysteine-rich protein and the large cysteine-rich periplasmic protein. It has been described in publications as the Sarkosyl-insoluble COMC (Chlamydia outer mbrane complex), and serves as the functional equivalent of peptidoglycan.
