Description

AKR1B1 Human Recombinant amino produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 316 amino acids having a molecular mass of 35.8 kDa.The AKR1B1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

AKR1B1 is part of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. AKR1B1 catalyzes the reduction several aldehydes, including the aldehyde form of glucose, and thus involved in the development of diabetic co

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.
