EXOSC7 is a non-catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex, which exhibits 3’->5’ exoribonuclease activity. This activity is essential for the degradation of inherently unstable mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) within their 3’-untranslated regions . The RNA exosome complex is involved in multiple cellular processes, including:
Recombinant Human Exosome Component 7 is produced using E. coli expression systems and is typically tagged with a His-tag for purification purposes . The recombinant protein corresponds to the amino acids 1-291 of the human EXOSC7 protein . It is used extensively in research to study the function and structure of the RNA exosome complex.
The recombinant form of EXOSC7 is valuable in various research applications, including:
