Source: Human Cells. MW :17.7kD. Recombinant Human Zymogen Granule Membrane Protein 16 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asn17-Cys167 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Zymogen Granule Membrane Protein 16 (ZG16) belongs to the jacalin lectin family. ZG16 is highly expressed in liver and is detected at lower levels in colon, ileum and jejunum. ZG16 may play a role in protein trafficking. In addition, ZG16 may act as a linker molecule between the submembranous matrix on the luminal side of zymogen granule membrane (ZGM) and aggregated secretory proteins during granule formation in the TGN.
