Introduction
AASDHPPT, a member of the P-Pant transferase superfamily, catalyzes the post-translational modification of proteins by phosphopantetheine. It facilitates the transfer of the 4'-phosphopantetheine group from coenzyme A to a serine residue on various acceptor proteins, including the acyl carrier domain of FASN (in vitro). Functionally similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYS5, which is crucial for activating alpha-aminoadipate dehydrogenase in the lysine biosynthesis pathway, AASDHPPT is expressed in various tissues like the heart, skeletal muscle, placenta, testis, brain, pancreas, liver, and kidney. Defects in the human AASDHPPT gene have been implicated in pipecolic acidemia.
Description
Recombinant human AASDHPPT, fused with a 21 amino acid His tag at its N-terminus, is produced in E. coli. This purified protein is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 316 amino acids (14-309 a.a.) with a molecular weight of 36.4kDa. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The AASDHPPT solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, and 10% Glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the solution can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of AASDHPPT is greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
