ADSTQA

(Note: N-terminal Met is removed on processing in E. coli, so that amino acids 9-426 of the sequence above matches residues 2-419 of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein GenBank entry QHD43423.2.)

Background

The coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) protein has a structural role, binding to the viral RNA and forming the nucleocapsid. The N protein is highly immunogenic and abundantly expressed during infection which makes it an important marker in diagnostic assays for COVID-19. Recombinant nucleocapsid proteins are commonly used in viral quantification assays and in ELISAs for detection of human antibodies against coronavirus.

Ordering

Particular attention should be paid when selecting the licence.
