Introduction
FBL is a significant small nucleolar protein in eukaryotes, which has an essential role in pre-rRNA processing during ribosomal biogenesis. Fibrillarin is a component of several ribonucleoproteins including a nucleolar small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (SnRNP) and one of the two classes of small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins (snoRNPs). Fibrillarin contains an N-terminal repetitive domain which is rich in glycine and arginine residues, like fibrillarins in other species. Fibrillarin’s central region is similar to an RNA-binding domain and contains an RNP consensus sequence. FBL is linked to the U3, U8, and U13 small nuclear RNAs and is positioned in the dense fibrillar component (DFC) of the nucleolus. Antisera from roughly 8% of humans with the autoimmune disease scleroderma recognize fibrillarin.
Description
FBL Human Recombinant fused with 23 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 262 amino acids (83-321 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 28.9kDa. The FBL is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
