Greater than 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

HEXA Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 464 amino acids (89-529 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 52.9 kDa.HEXA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus.

Protein Background

HEXA is the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase which, combined with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules having N-acetyl hexosamines terminus. The two subunits

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

TSD, hexosaminidase A, Beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha, Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase subunit alpha, Hexosaminidase subunit A, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase subunit alpha.

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.
