Recombinant Human GCK

• Cat.No.: GCK-28593TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length human IGLK; amino acids 1-465, 52kDa.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 1-465 a.a.
• Description: Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three tissue-specific forms of glucokinase, one found in pancreatic islet beta cells and two found in liver. The protein localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. In contrast to other forms of hexokinase, this enzyme is not inhibited by its product glucose-6-phosphate but remains active while glucose is abundant. Mutations in this gene have been associated with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), maturity onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY2) and persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI).
• Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 is expressed in pancreas. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 is expressed in liver.
• Form: Liquid
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Storage buffer: Preservative: NoneConstituents: 20% Glycerol, 20mM Tris Cl, 100mM Potassium chloride, 1mM DTT, 0.2mM EDTA, pH 8.0
• Storage: Shipped on dry ice. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -80oC. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
• Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the hexokinase family.
• Full Length: Full L.
