Cat.No.
TPP47-281T
Species
Treponema pallidum
Product Name
Recombinant Treponema pallidum TPP47 protein, His-tagged
Product Overview
The E.Coli derived recombinant protein is fused at the C- terminus with a 6xHis Tag and contains the T.Pallidum p47 immunodominant regions.
Description
Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium and is considered to be metabolically crippled. There are at least four known subspecies: T. pallidum pallidum, T. pallidum pertenue, T. pallidum carateum and T. pallidum endemicum. The helical structure of T. pallidum pallidum allows it to move in a corkscrew motion through viscous mediums such as mucus. Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum has one of the smallest bacterial genomes at 1.14 million base pairs (Mb) and has limited metabolic capabilities, reflecting its adaptation through genome reduction to the rich environment of mammalian tissue.
