| Formulation |
CYB5R2 protein solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 10% glycerol and 1mM DTT. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
CYB5R2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 299 amino acids (1-276 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33.8kDa. CYB5R2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus. |
| Protein Background |
Cytochrome b5 reductase 2 (CYB5R2) is involved in desaturation and elongation of fatty acids, cholesterol biosynthesis, drug metabolism, and, in erythrocyte, methemoglobin reduction. CYB5R2 is responsible for NADH-dependent lucigenin chemiluminescence in spermatozoa by reducing both lucigenin and 2-[4-iodophenyl]-3-[4-nitrophenyl]-5-[2,4-disulfophenyl]-2H tetrazolium monosodium salt (WST-1). |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
CYB5R2, Cytochrome B5 Reductase 2, EC 1.6.2.2, B5R.2, Cytochrome B5 Reductase B5R.2, NADH-Cytochrome B5 Reductase 2, b5R.2. |
| 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. |
