Hi,

I am working with a protein that is typically secreted from the parasitic cells that I study. I am trying to express and purify it from HEK cells. Despite of using the mammalian signal peptide, it is not being synthesized as a secreted protein. I was wondering, if expressing the protein as cytosolic in the HEK cells (by removing the signal peptide sequence) would interfere with the folding of it? We plan to do activity assay with the purified protein. So proper conformation is necessary.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Sumit
