Recombinant Salmonella arizonae UPF0259 membrane protein YciC (yciC) is a bacterial membrane-associated protein produced through recombinant DNA technology. It belongs to the UPF0259 family, a group of conserved prokaryotic proteins with roles in membrane integrity and bacterial physiology. This protein is derived from Salmonella enterica subspecies arizonae, a zoonotic pathogen associated with reptile-linked salmonellosis in humans .
Expression System: Mammalian cell or E. coli (varies by vendor) .
Tag: His-tag (N- or C-terminal, determined during production) .
YciC serves as an immunogen for generating antibodies in ELISA and Western blot assays .
Membrane Dynamics: Used to study bacterial membrane protein interactions .
Drug Target Exploration: Potential candidate for anti-Salmonella therapeutics due to its role in energy metabolism .
