Skd3, MBP-Tag Recombinant
Recombinant human Skd3 (also known as ClpB, caseinolytic peptidase B protein homolog), encompassing amino acids 92-707(end). This construct contains an MBP (maltose binding protein) tag followed by a TEV protease site and corresponds to the wild-type protein. This protein was affinity purified.

Skd3 is a mitochondrial AAA ATPase protein that acts as a chaperone. It uses ATP hydrolysis to chaperone protein unfolding and disassembly, and to reverse protein aggregation. Sdk3 also plays a role in apoptosis by solubilizing HAX1 (HCLS-associated protein X-1). Mutations lead to metabolic disorders characterized by neutropenia, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria and developmental delays. Interestingly, Skd3 has been linked to Venetoclax resistance in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), revealing its importance in AML therapy.
