Product Description
Guanidinoacetate N-Methyltransferase Human Recombinant
Overview
Galactose-1-Phosphate Uridylyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the 2nd step of the “Leloir pathway” of galactose metabolism, specifically the conversion of UDP-glucose + galactose-1-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate + UDP-galactose. The deficiency of the GALT enzyme results in typical galactosemia in humans and may be fatal in the newborn stage if lactose is not eliminated from the diet. Galactosemia pathophysiology has not been clearly defined.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The GALT solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.5), 0.2M NaCl and 10% glycerol. |
| 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. |
