Product Specs

Introduction
Erythrocyte acylphosphatase (ACYP1) is an enzyme found in the cytosol that breaks down acylphosphates by hydrolyzing their carboxyl-phosphate bond. Two isoenzymes of acylphophatase exist: ACYP1 and ACYP2. Despite sharing 60% homology and having the same substrate specificity, ACYP1 exhibits higher catalytic activity compared to ACYP2.
Description
Recombinant human ACYP1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 13.6 kDa. It comprises 122 amino acids, including a 23 amino acid His tag at the N-terminus (amino acids 1-99). Purification of ACYP1 is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The ACYP1 solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep the ACYP1 vial refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. To enhance long-term stability, consider adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) to the solution. Repeated freezing and thawing cycles should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of ACYP1 is determined to be greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms

Product Science Overview

Classification and Isoenzymes

ACYP1 belongs to the family of hydrolases (EC 3) and exists in two isoenzyme forms: ACYP1 and ACYP2 . These isoenzymes are classified based on their tissue localization, with ACYP1 being predominantly found in erythrocytes (red blood cells) and ACYP2 in muscle tissues .

Biological Properties and Expression Patterns

ACYP1 is a small enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 14.0 kDa . It is expressed in various tissues, with a significant presence in erythrocytes . The human ACYP1 gene spans approximately 10 kilobase pairs (kbp) and contains two exons, 84 base pairs (bp) and 123 bp in length .

Tissue Distribution and Biological Functions

ACYP1 is widely distributed in the human body, with notable expression in erythrocytes . Its primary biological function is to catalyze the hydrolysis of acylphosphates, which is essential for cellular energy metabolism . This enzymatic activity helps maintain cellular homeostasis and energy balance.

Roles in Immune Responses and Pathogen Recognition

While ACYP1’s primary function is metabolic, it may also play a role in immune responses and pathogen recognition due to its presence in erythrocytes, which are involved in immune surveillance .

Modes of Action and Mechanisms with Other Molecules and Cells

ACYP1 acts by hydrolyzing the carboxyl-phosphate bond of acylphosphates, converting them into their corresponding acids and inorganic phosphate . This reaction is crucial for the regulation of cellular energy levels and metabolic processes.

Binding Partners and Downstream Signaling Cascades

ACYP1 interacts with various molecules within the cell, although specific binding partners and downstream signaling cascades are not well-documented . Its primary role is enzymatic, focusing on the hydrolysis of acylphosphates.

Regulatory Mechanisms

The expression and activity of ACYP1 are regulated at the genetic level, with alternative splicing forms that can induce apoptosis . This regulation ensures that ACYP1 activity is modulated according to cellular needs and conditions.

Recombinant Human ACYP1

Recombinant human ACYP1 is produced using Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression systems and is often tagged with an N-terminal His tag for purification purposes . This recombinant form is used in various research applications to study the enzyme’s properties and functions.
