Recombinant Human FECH, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: FECH-12837H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FECH protein, fused to His-tag, was expressed in E.coli and purified by Ni-sepharose.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 60-423a.a.
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.
• 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 300mM Imidazole and 0.7% Sarcosyl, 15%glycerol.
