Product Specs

Introduction
Aldolase C Fructose-Bisphosphate (ALDOC), a member of the class I fructose-bisphosphate aldolase family, is a glycolytic enzyme. It plays a crucial role in 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 highly specific to the brain, particularly in the hippocampus and Purkinje cells.
Description
Recombinant human ALDOC, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It comprises 364 amino acids (1-364 a.a.) and exhibits a molecular weight of 39.4kDa. The purification process of ALDOC involves proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The ALDOC solution, with a concentration of 1mg/ml, is formulated in a buffer containing 20% glycerol, 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 2mM DTT, and 0.1M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the ALDOC vial should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the vial frozen at -20°C. To ensure optimal long-term stability, adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of ALDOC is determined to be greater than 90.0% using SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The specific activity of ALDOC is measured to be greater than 6 units/mg. One unit of activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1.0 µmol of fructose 1,6-diphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate per minute at a pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 37°C.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Aldolase C, also known as fructose-bisphosphate aldolase C (ALDOC), is a key enzyme involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) through aldol cleavage .

Structure and Expression

Aldolase C is a member of the class I fructose-bisphosphate aldolase family. The human recombinant form of Aldolase C is expressed in Escherichia coli and is typically purified to a high degree of purity (>90%) using conventional chromatography techniques . The protein consists of 364 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 39.4 kDa .

Biological Function

Aldolase C plays a crucial role in the fourth step of glycolysis, a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose to produce energy. It is also involved in gluconeogenesis, the reverse pathway that generates glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors . The enzyme is specifically expressed in the hippocampus and Purkinje cells of the brain, indicating its importance in brain metabolism .

Enzymatic Activity

The specific activity of recombinant human Aldolase C is greater than 6 units/mg. One unit of the enzyme will convert 1.0 μmol of fructose-1,6-diphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate per minute at pH 7.5 and 37°C . This high level of activity makes it suitable for various biochemical and physiological studies.

Applications

Recombinant human Aldolase C is used in research to study its role in metabolic pathways, particularly in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It is also utilized in structural biology to understand the enzyme’s mechanism of action and its interactions with other molecules. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool in the development of therapeutic strategies for metabolic disorders and neurological diseases.
