Protein A / G

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The protein A / G is an artificial fusion protein from the bacterial antibodies -binding proteins A and G .

properties

Protein A / G, like the related proteins A or G, is used in biochemistry for protein purification and the measurement of antibodies. Protein A / G is a partially has homology to other bacterial antibody-binding proteins such as Protein A , Protein G , but only little similarity to protein L or M protein . Protein A / G binds to the heavy chains of human immunoglobulins of the types IgA, IgE, IgM and, to a lesser extent, IgD. IgA and IgD are not bound among mouse immunoglobulins. The proteins A and G also bind to the DNA-binding proteins Ku and PARP-1 .
