Recombinant Human AKR1C2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: AKR1C2-858H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human AKR1C2(Met1-Tyr323) fused with His tag at C-terminal was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• 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 using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme binds bile acid with high affinity, and shows minimal 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.
