Product Description
Dicarbonyl/L-Xylulose Reductase Human Recombinant, Bioactive
Overview
DCXR catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of numerous pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl molecules and L-xylulose. DCXR takes part in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. DCXR participates in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thus preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 1,800 pmol/min/ug and is defined as the amount of enzyme that oxidize 1pmole of xylitol to L-xylulose per minute at pH 10.0 at 37C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The DCXR (0.5mg/ml) solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 20% glycerol and 50mM NaCl. |
| 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. |
