Recombinant Human DCXR, GST-tagged

• Cat.No.: DCXR-11874H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human DCXR protein, fused to GST-tag, was expressed in E.coli and purified by GSH-sepharose.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: GST
• Protein Length: 1-244a.a.
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze diacetyl reductase and L-xylulose reductase reactions. The encoded protein may play a role in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism and in the cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of pentosuria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
• Storage: The protein is stored in PBS buffer at -20℃. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
• Storage Buffer: 1M PBS (58mM Na2HPO4,17mM NaH2PO4, 68mM NaCl, pH8. ) added with 100mM GSH and 1% Triton X-100,15%glycerol.
