Product Description
Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 Human Recombinant, Active
Overview
Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) catalyzes the primary and rate-limiting stage in tryptophan catabolism to N-formyl-kynurenine. IDO1 affects on various tryptophan substrates including D-tryptophan, and serotonin and is expressed in dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. IDO1 takes part in a range of pathophysiological processes like neuropathology, antimicrobial and antitumor defense, immunoregulation, and antioxidant activity. IDO1 regulates T-cell behavior by its pericellular catabolization of the necessary amino acid tryptophan.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 300 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyze 1.0 pmole of L-Tryptophan to N-formyl-Lkynurenine per minute at pH 6.5 at 25C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The IDO1 solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.15M NaCl, 20% glycerol and 1mM DTT. |
| 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. |
