Membrane Protein
Membrane proteins play an important role in cells, they are involved in cell-to-cell, cell-to-matrix interactions, cell formation, and transmembrane transport ofvarious ions, metabolites and proteins. Based on the importance of membrane proteins in various cellular functions, more and more membrane proteins have become drug targets for various diseases, and the study of membrane proteinshas gradually become a research hotspot in recent years.
We have 2609 membrane protein plasmids, which include those important targets and known structure proteins.

Membrane proteins are challenging targets: hardto expression recombinantly; difficult to keep them stable, homogenous, andactive; and structural biology unfriendly;
Biortus has developed several proprietarymethodologies to overcome the challenges, and the membrane protein collectionin Biortus USA included in GPCRSuite®, ABCSuite®,SLCSuite® and IonChannalSuite®.
