PTAFR (human) full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Discover a breakthrough in membrane protein research and drug development with DIMA Biotech's Synthetic Nanodiscs. Traditional methods struggle with challenges in obtaining water-soluble and bioactive forms of multi-transmembrane proteins. Our innovative polymer-based Nanodisc platform offers a game-changing solution by excluding membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs), resulting in a cleaner system with fewer interferences for downstream assays. By disassembling cell membranes into nanoscale disc-shaped structures, our technology enables the purification of membrane proteins to high homogeneity under aqueous conditions. Explore how Synthetic Nanodiscs empower the functional characterization of multi-span transmembrane proteins in their active form, revolutionizing the future of membrane protein research and drug development. Protein function: Receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth-muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. Seems to mediate its action via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. [The UniProt Consortium]
