Introduction
Aldolase C Fructose-Bisphosphate (ALDOC), a member of the class I fructose-bisphosphate aldolase family, is a glycolytic enzyme. It facilitates the reversible aldol cleavage of fructose-1,6-biphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and either glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or glyceraldehydes, respectively. ALDOC expression is restricted to the brain's hippocampus and Purkinje cells.
Description
Recombinant human ALDOC, with a 20 amino acid His Tag fused at the N-terminal, is produced in E.Coli. This results in a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 384 amino acids (1-364 a.a) and possessing a molecular weight of 41.6 kDa. Purification of ALDOC is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
The product is a clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The ALDOC solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml and contains the following components: 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, 2mM DTT, and 0.1M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, freezing at -20°C is recommended. To ensure long-term stability, adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing cycles should be avoided.
Purity
Analysis by SDS-PAGE confirms a purity exceeding 95.0%.
Synonyms
Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase C, Brain-type aldolase, ALDOC, ALDC.
