| Formulation |
GLO1 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
GLO1 Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 192 amino acids (1-184a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 21.8kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa).GLO1 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and 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 and present in numerous tumor cell lines, in which its concentration is often upregulated ubiquitisly. GLO1 is a major susceptible gene for autism in an ethnic Chinese population from Taiwan. GLO1 might be involved in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. GLO1 plays a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. Overexpression of GLO1 is associated with kidney tumor. |
