Recombinant Human AKR7A2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: AKR7A2-1934H
• Product Overview: Recombinant AKR7A2 protein fused to his-tag was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. 44.0kDa (398aa).

Specification

• Cat. No.: AKR7A2-1934H
• Description: Aldo-keto reductases, such as AKR7A2, are involved in the detoxification of aldehydes and ketones. This protein can reduce the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to the nonbinding AFB1 dialcohol. It may be involved in protection of liver against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of AFB1, a potent hepatocarcinogen. Also, it has been proposed previously to catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of succinic semialdehyde (SSA) to gamma-Hydroxybutyrate in human brain.

• Biological activity: Specific activity: approximately 0.25-0.3 units/mg. Enzymatic activity was confirmed by measuring the amount of enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of 1 micromole NADPH per minute at 25℃. Specific activity was expressed as units/mg protein.
• Activity Assay: 1.Prepare a 1.mll reaction mix into a suitable container: the final concentrations are 0.1M sodium phosphate (pH7.0), 10mM DL-glyceraldehyde, 0.3mM NADPH.2.Add 50ul of recombinant AKR7A2 solution with various concentrations (2.5ug, 5ug, 10ug) in 750ul reaction buffer. 3.Mix by inversion and Incubate at 25℃ for 2.5 minutes.4.Add 200ul of 50 mM DL-glyceraldehyde as a substrate and immediately mix by inversion.5.Record the increase in A340nm for 3 minutes.
• Storage: Can be stored at +4°C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or -70°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
