Recombinant Human AKR1C1, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: AKR1C1-27156TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length Human AKR1C1 (amino acids 1-323) with N terminal His tag; 343aa, 38.9kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 323 amino acids
• Description: This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of progesterone to the inactive form 20-alpha-hydroxy-progesterone. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14.
• Conjugation: HIS
• Molecular Weight: 38.900kDa inclusive of tags
• Tissue specificity: Expressed in all tissues tested including liver, prostate, testis, adrenal gland, brain, uterus, mammary gland and keratinocytes. Highest levels found in liver, mammary gland and brain.
• Biological activity: Specific activity: approximately 0.15 - 0.2 units/mg.Enzymatic activity was confirmed by measuring the amount of enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of 1 micromole NADPH per minute at 25°C. Specific activity was expressed as units/mg protein.
