ESGP Products

Description

ESGP (ES cell and germ cell-specific protein) is a presumably secreted polypeptide that belongs to no known protein family. It is expressed specifically in pluripotential cell types, and does not appear to be involved in differentiation. Mouse ESGP precursor is 84 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 25 aa signal sequence with a 59 aa mature segment. There are no N-linked glycosylation sites. One potential 108 aa variant shows an alternate start site 24 aa upstream of the standard start site.
