Product Description
Thioredoxin Reductase 1 Human Recombinant
Overview
TXNRD1 belongs to the selenium-containing pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase family, which has a conserved catalytic site of Cys-Val-Asn-Val-Gly-Cys. TXNRD1 decreases thioredoxins as well as other substrates, and participates in selenium metabolism and protection against oxidative stress. Inhibition of TXNRD1 activity serves as a potential treatment for cancer, AIDS and other autoimmune diseases as well as bacterial infections and parasitic diseases.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 15 units/mg, and was measured in a coupled assay with 5,5'-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)(DTNB)and NADPH. The amount of TNB generated by NADPH was measured in absorbance at 412 nm.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | TXNRD1 Human solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 1x PBS pH-7.4 & 20% 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. |
