Recombinant Human RTCA, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: RTCA-242H
• Product Overview: RTCA, 1-366aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Specification

• Description: RTCA catalyzes the conversion of 3"-phosphate to a 2",3"-cyclic phosphodiester at the end of RNA. The mechanism of action of the enzyme occurs in 3 steps: (A) adenylation of the enzyme by ATP; (B) transfer of adenylate to an RNA-N3"P to produce RNA-N3"PP5"A; (C) and attack of the adjacent 2"-hydroxyl on the 3"-phosphorus in the diester linkage to produce the cyclic end product. The biological role of this enzyme is unknown but it is likely to function in some aspects of cellular RNA processing. Recombinant human RTCA protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
