Description
This is a thermal hysteresis (antifreeze) protein. It has up to 100 times the specific activity of fish antifreeze proteins. There are four variants of the protein (YL1-4). This is variant YL1.
Notes
The codons were optimized to be used in E. coli, and any restriction enzyme sites were removed.
Source
This part comes from Tenebrio molitor. Amino acid sequences for four variants are found in a paper in Nature entitled, "Hyperactive antifreeze protein from beetles" (Graham et al., 1997).
