Description
This is the coding gene for the protein naturally found in the miracle berry (Synsepalum dulcificum). The protein is his-tagged at the C-terminus (with a poly-glycine linker) for purification. In the berry the protein is produced as a glycoprotein dimer, in which form it has taste-modifying properties.
Notes
Miraculin naturally has exposed histidine tags which allow for metal ion purification, yet attaching the his-tag should allow for greater concentrations of purified protein.
Source
The sequence is from the UniProt database (P13087) without the C-terminus signal peptide.
