Differences in molecular weights of the wild-type (wt; a) and the C129S mutant (b) PGRMC1 proteins in the absence (apo form) or the presence of haem (haem-bound form). The protein sizes of the wt and C129S PGRMC1 cytosolic domains (a.a.44–195) in the presence or absence of haem were estimated by ESI-MS, DOSY and SV-AUC.
