ARFIP2 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 364 amino acids (1-341) and having a molecular mass of 40.2 kDa. ARFIP2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Arfaptin 2 (ARFIP2) is a Rac1 binding protein essential for Rac-mediated actin polymerization and the succeeding formation of membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. ARFIP2 is a putative target protein of ADP-ribosylation factor. ARFIP2 is also involved in membrane ruffling. ARFIP2 expression is increased at sites of neurodegeneration. In addition, ARFIP2 interacts with the ADP ribosylation factor ARF6, a GTPase which associates with the plasma membrane and intracellular endosome vesicles, in a GTP dependent mode. Furthermore, Arfaptin 2 controls the aggregation of mutant Huntingtin protein by weakening proteasome function.
