Maltose binding protein (MBP)

[Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) as a Tag]: In addition to its biological role, MBP is often used as a fusion tag in recombinant protein expression. The MBP tag enhances solubility and proper folding of target proteins in bacterial and eukaryotic expression systems. MBP-tagged proteins can also be efficiently purified using amylose affinity chromatography, making MBP a versatile tool for protein production, structural studies, and functional assays.
