VCC1 Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Plates & Dishes Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group

Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous group of highly symmetrical| monomeric proteins typically lacking connecting peptides and terminal extensions

spanning 180 kb and consisting of 67 exons

via a conserved 32 aa C-terminal motif

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family

VCC1 Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Plates & Dishes Gamma-crystallins are a homogeneous groupThe protein encoded by this gene is a mucosal chemokine that attracts immature dendritic cells and blood monocytes to the lungs. The encoded protein also promotes tumorigenesis through an angiogenic activity. Finally, this protein exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, Salmonella, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans. Two transcript variants, one protein coding and the other non protein coding, have been found for this gene.
