ADH1C Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 381 amino acids (1-375) and having a molecular mass of 40.6kDa. ADH1C is fused to a 6 amino acid IgG His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Alcohol Dehydrogenase 1C (ADH1C) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of alcohols within the human body. This enzyme is part of the alcohol dehydrogenase family, which is responsible for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones. The recombinant form of ADH1C, produced in Sf9 cells, is a valuable tool for research and industrial applications.
The recombinant ADH1C enzyme is produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells. It is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 381 amino acids, with a molecular mass of approximately 40.6 kDa . The molecular size on SDS-PAGE appears at approximately 40-57 kDa . This recombinant form is designed to mimic the natural enzyme found in humans, allowing for detailed studies on its function and properties.
ADH1C catalyzes the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes, a critical step in the metabolism of ethanol and other alcohols. The enzyme operates by binding to the alcohol substrate and facilitating its oxidation through the transfer of electrons. This process is essential for the detoxification of alcohols in the liver and other tissues.
The recombinant ADH1C enzyme has several applications in both research and industry:
