Ragulator complex protein LAMTOR5, Hepatitis B virus X-interacting protein, HBV X-interacting protein, HBX-interacting protein, Late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor and MAPK and MTOR activator 5, LAMTOR5, HBXIP, XIP.

Hepatitis B virus x interacting protein (HBXIP) forms a complex with the C-terminus of hepatitis B virus X (HBX) protein. HBXIP negatively regulates HBX activity and changes the replicative life cycle of the virus. Furthermore, HBXIP is involved in bipolar spindle formation and regulates centrosome dynamics and cytokinesis in cells, possibly due to interaction with Dynein light chain. HBXIP is highly expressed in the skeletal and cardiac muscle, followed by pancreas, kidney, liver, brain, placenta and lung. HBXIP has elevated levels in both cancerous and non-cancerous liver tissue of patients with chronic HBV infection compared with hepatic tissue without HBV infection.

HBXIP Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 197 amino acids (aa 1-173) and having a molecular mass of 20.7kDa.
HBXIP is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.
