γ-Secretase activating protein (GSAP) is known to play an important role in the β-amyloid pathway. It acts as a modulator and accentuates the truncation of the amyloid precursor protein C-99 fragment through the γ-secretase complex. GSAP has four isoforms, out of which canonical isoform 1, a 16 kDa C-terminal portion, has been extensively studied, whereas the function of other three isoforms remains unknown. Here, we explore the GSAP isoform 4 (GSAP_I4) expression and purification from inclusion bodies followed by the refolding of the protein. The secondary structure of GSAP_I4 is predicted using circular dichroism. The protein is further characterized by western blotting and mass spectroscopy analysis. Addi... More
