Product Description
Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3 Human Recombinant
Overview
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 isoform 1 or AKR1C3 is an enzyme, part of the aldo-keto reductase family that promotes conversion of ketones & aldehydes to the alcohol forms while using cofactors such as NADPH & NADH. AKR1C3 promotes the reduction of PG molecule (prostaglandin), PQ (phenanthrenequinone) & PGH2. Another role is oxidation of 9 alpha, 11 beta-PGF2 to PGD2. AKR1C3 holds a crucial part in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases like asthma and can also take part in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 1,000pmol/min/ug. It is defined by the amount of enzyme that catalyzes oxidation of 1.0pmole 1-Acenaphthenol in the presence of NADP per minute at pH 8.8 at 25˚C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The AKR1C3 solution (1mg/ml) contains 10% Glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT and 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.5). |
| Storage | 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. |
| Expression System | Escherichia Coli. |
