Sorting nexin-5 (SNX5) belongs to the sorting nexin family, whose members contains a phox (PX) domain, (which is a phosphoinositide binding domain) and are involved in intracellular trafficking. SNX5 protein is a component of the mammalian retromer complex, which facilitates cargo recovery from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. SNX5 binds to the Fanconi anemia, complementation group A protein. SNX5 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 427 amino acids (1-404 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 49.2kDa.
SNX5 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
