Description

GPT2 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 546 amino acids (1-523) and having a molecular mass of 60.3 kDa. GPT2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic technique

Protein Background

Alanine aminotransferase 2 (GPT2), catalyzes the reversible transamination among alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to create pyruvate and glutamate. GPT2 expressed mainly in muscle, fat and kidney and participates in the intermediary metabolism of glucose and am

Expression host

E.coli.

Synonyms

ALT2, AAT2, Alanine aminotransferase 2, Glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2, Glutamic--alanine transaminase 2, Glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 2.

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.
