Our knowledge of the role of proteins in cellular processes is continually evolving. Most proteins, including HIV1 gp41 are typically involved in one or more signaling pathways or biological processes. Professionally manufactured recombinant proteins are increasingly becoming essential and commonplace tools for elucidating new knowledge about the role of proteins in both health and disease.
Protein Type: Recombinant
Biological Significance: HIV gp41 is a glycoprotein subunit that remains non-covalently-bound to gp120, and provides the second step by which HIV enters the cell. It is originally buried within the viral envelope, but, when gp120 binds to a CD4, gp120 changes its conformation, causing gp41 to become exposed, where it can assist in fusion with the host cell. The Env gene does not, in fact, code for gp120 and gp41, but for a precursor to both, gp160. During HIV reproduction, the host cell\'s own enzymes cleave gp160 into gp120 and gp41. Expression System: Yeast
