Recombinant Human CRYZ, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CRYZ-257H
• Product Overview: CRYZ, 1-329aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 1-329aa
• Description: Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. The former class is also called phylogenetically-restricted crystallins. This gene encodes a taxon-specific crystallin protein which has NADPH-dependent quinone reductase activity distinct from other known quinone reductases. It lacks alcohol dehydrogenase activity although by similarity it is considered a member of the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Unlike other mammalian species, in humans, lens expression is low. Recombinant human CRYZ protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
