| Formulation |
AS3MT protein solution (1mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 10% glycerol and 0.15M NaCl. |
| Purity |
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
AS3MT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 399 amino acids (1-375 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 44.3kDa.AS3MT is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Arsenic Methyltransferase (AS3MT) catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to trivalent arsenical and may have a role in arsenic metabolism. AS3MT methylates arsenite to produce methylarsonate, Me-AsO3H2, which is reduced by methylarsonate reductase to methylarsonite, Me-As(OH)2. Methylarsonite which is also a substrate, is transformed into the much less toxic complex dimethylarsinate (cacodylate), Me2As(O)-OH. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Arsenite methyltransferase, Methylarsonite methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenic(III) methyltransferase, AS3MT, CYT19, RP11-753C18.6. |
| 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. |
