Recombinant Human Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose Reductase, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: DCXR-2726H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human DCXR, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. MW =28 kDa (264aa), confirmed by MALDI-TOF.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase, also known as DCXR, is an enzyme responsible for the metabolism ofxylulose, converting it into xylitol. DCXR was expressed at low levels and was localized predominantly in the cytoplasmic membrane. In contrast, in virtually all grades of early-stage prostate cancer and in all chemohormonally treated cases, DCXR was strikingly overexpressed and was localized predominantly in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
