Purified recombinant Human BCAS2 protein Background: BCAS2, also known as pre-mRNA-splicing factor SPF27, is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that was originally identified as being overexpressed in various breast cancer cell lines. It is now known to be a component of the spliceosome, participating in the removal of introns from mRNA precursors. BCAS2 specifically interacts (in a ligand-independent manner) with thyroid hormone receptor, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activat
ed receptor. This protein functions as an ER co-activator and is capable of enhancing ER-mediated transcription. This suggests that BCAS2 is involved in the development of breast cancer. Recombinant human BCAS2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
