| Description: | Description: Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), also known as Colligin or Serpin H1, is a serpin which serves as a human chaperone protein for collagen. This protein is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors. Its expression is induced by heat shock. The protein acts as a molecular chaperone facilitating the folding and assembly of procollagen molecules, retaining unfolded molecules within the ER, and assisting the transport of correctly folded-molecules from the ER to Golgi apparatus. Recombinant human HSP47/Colligin protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. |
