| Formulation |
HPRT1 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and 20% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
HPRT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 238 amino acids (1-218 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 26.7kDa. HPRT1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
HPRT1 has a main part in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway. HPRT1 primarily functions to salvage purines from degraded DNA to renewed purine synthesis. Therefore, it performs as a catalyst in the reaction between guanine and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate to form GMP. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase 1, EC 2.4.2.8, HGPRTase, HGPRT, HPRT , Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase 1, Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase, Testicular Tissue Protein Li 89, Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, HPRT1. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered clear 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. |
