Usage and Biology

AnAFP is an antifreeze protein derived from Ammopiptanthus nanus. It protects the stability of membrane structures under cold conditions by binding to or dissociating from the membrane. It prevents the coagulation of macromolecules and plays a regulatory role by binding to or dissociating from calcium ions^[1]. We heterologously expressed codon-optimized AnAFP in Escherichia coli, endowing it with antifreeze capability.
