Data sheet
| Formulation | The ALAD solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity | Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description | ALAD Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 354 amino acids (1-330) and having a molecular mass of 38.8kDa.ALAD is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | ALAD form porphobilinogen (a precursor of heme, cytochromes and other hemoproteins) by catalyzing the compression of 2 molecules of delta-aminolevulinate. ALAD catalyzes the second step in the porphyrin and heme biosynthetic pathway; zinc is vital for enzymatic activity. ALAD has 8 identical subunits and its enzymatic activity is inhibited by lead. Mutations in the ALAD structural gene are the source for high sensitivity to lead poisoning and acute hepatic porphyria. |
| Expression host | E.coli. |
| Synonyms | Aminolevulinate delta-dehydratase, ALADH, PBGS, Porphobilinogen synthase, delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, EC 4.2.1.24. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
