Milligram quantities of homogeneous recombinant full-length mouse Munc18c from Escherichia coli cultures.
Vesicle fusion is an indispensable cellular process required for eukaryotic cargo delivery. The Sec/Munc18 protein Munc18c is essential for insulin-regulated trafficking of glucose transporter4 (GLUT4) vesicles to the cell surface in muscle and adipose tissue. Previously, our biophysical and structu...

Vesicle fusion is an indispensable cellular process required for eukaryotic cargo delivery.
