Name for protein without a tag

[talkingtree]

Hi,

For example, a His tagged protein is protein-His, a GST tagged protein is protein-GST, what is a recombinant protein without a tag?

If it is a protein with unmodified sequence, just label as recombinant protein (e.g recombinant human Nrf2). If it is a part of a native protein, then label as recombinant human Nrf2 (1-277 aa).

Oh rite, thanks for the help

We just add a "r" in front of the original gene name.
For your example this would result in: rNrf2. And than you can add Tags or mutations as you like.

Shorten name such rNrf2 is not standard terminology (it could mean rat Nrf2) and should be defined when first used.
