Recombinant HIV1 Envelope gp120/gp41 Fusion Protein

• Cat.No.: gp120/gp41-40H
• Product Overview: This recombinant protein contains immunodominant regions of HIV-1 gp120 and gp41 proteins with a MW of 37.4 kDa. It is recognized by positive samples in ELISA tests.

Specification

• Species: HIV
• Source: E.coli
• Description: gp41/120 is the major HIV protein associated with the HIV envelope. It functions as the viral antireceptor or attachment protein. gp41 (or TM) traverses the envelope, whereas gp120 is present on the outer surface and is noncovalently attached to gp41. The precursor of gp120/41 (gp160) is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and is transported via the golgi body to the cell surface. Upon activation of the envelope glycoprotein (gp120/41) by cellular receptors, gp41 undergoes conformational changes that mediate fusion of the viral and cellular membranes.
