Recombinant Human BHMT, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: BHMT-1232H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human BHMT, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: This gene encodes a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of betaine and homocysteine to dimethylglycine and methionine, respectively. Defects in this gene could lead to hyperhomocyst(e)inemia, but such a defect has not yet been observed.
• Form: Liquid. 20mM Tris pH7.5, 20% glycerol.
• Molecular Mass: 49.2 kDa (443 aa), confirmed by MALDI-TOF.
