Product Description
Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase, Active Human Recombinant
Overview
6PGD is the 2nd dehydrogenase in the pentose phosphate shift. Pentose is crucial for the biosynthesis of nucleic acid. The pentose phosphate cycle is a prominent source of NADPH. 6PGD deficiency is mostly asymptomatic, and the inheritance of this deasis is autosomal dominant. PGD deficiency elevate the erythrocyte pyruvate kinase levels of activity & decreases glutathione synthetase, which causes hemolysis.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 10unit/mg. One unit will oxidize 1.0 umole of 6-phospho-D-gluconate to D-ribulose 5- phosphate per minute at pH 8.0 at 25˚C, in the presence of beta-NADP.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The PGD solution (1mg/ml) contains 10% Glycerol, 1mM DTT, 0.1M NaCl, and 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0). |
| 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. |
