GLO1 Human, Active

Data sheet

Formulation

Glyoxalase-1 solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 1mM DTT and 10% glycerol.

Purity

Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Glyoxalase-I Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 184 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 20.7 kDa. Glyoxalase-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

GLO1 is involved in the catalysis and formation of S-lactoyl-glutathione from methylglyoxal condensation and reduced glutatione. GLO1 is linked to HLA and is localized to 6p21.3-p21.1, between HLA and the centromere. GLO1 enzyme is ubundantly expressed an

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

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.
