Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase E.coli Recombinant ( G6PD E.Coli )

Data sheet

Formulation

The G6PD protein contains 50mM MES 6.0, 0.1mM PMSF, 2mM EDTA, 0.5mM DTT and 10% glycerol.

Purity

Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

G6PD E.Coli Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 491 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 55.7kDa. The G6PD is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

G6PD is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells by maintaining the level of NADPH. G6PD converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphoglucono-?-lactone and at the same time produce

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

G6PD, G6PD1, Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase.

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.

Biological Activity

Specific activity is 8-10 units/ml obtained by measuring the increase of NADPH in absorbance at 340 nm resulting from the reduction of NAD or NADP. One unit oxidizes 1.0 umole D-glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phospho-D-gluconate per min in the presence of beta-
