GLDA E.coli, Active

Data sheet

Formulation

GLDA protein solution (1mg/ml) containing Phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) and 10% glycerol.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

GLDA E.coli Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 390 amino acids (1-367 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 41.1kDa. GLDA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chro

Protein Background

Glycerol dehydrogenase (GldA) catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of glycerol to dihydroxyacetone (glycerone). The GldA protein allows microorganisms to use glycerol as a source of carbon under anaerobic conditions. Furthermore, in E.coli GldA has an im

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

ECK3937, JW5556, Glycerol dehydrogenase, GDH, GLDH, b3945.

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.
