Description

GCAT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 419 amino acids (22-419 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 45kDa.GCAT is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromat

Protein Background

L-threonine to glycine degradation consists of a two-step biochemical pathway which involvs the enzymes L-threonine dehydrogenase and 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase. L-Threonine is initially converted into 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate by L-threonine d

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase mitochondrial, AKB ligase, EC 2.3.1.29, Aminoacetone synthase, Glycine acetyltransferase, GCAT, KBL.

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.
