Recombinant Human AKR7A2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: AKR7A2-26147TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length Human AKR7A2 fused to His tag at N-terminus; amino acids 1-359 , MWt 44kDa.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the aldo/keto reductase (AKR) superfamily and AKR7 family, which are involved in the detoxification of aldehydes and ketones. The AKR7 family consists of 3 genes that are present in a cluster on the p arm of chromosome 1. This protein, thought to be localized in the golgi, catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of succinic semialdehyde to the endogenous neuromodulator, gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It may also function as a detoxication enzyme in the reduction of aflatoxin B1 and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde.
