Product Specs

Introduction
GPD1L, or Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like protein, plays a crucial role in converting sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to glycerone phosphate. This protein is primarily located in the cytoplasm and is associated with the plasma membrane. At the plasma membrane, GPD1L binds to SCN5A, the alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel, type V. Genetic mutations affecting the GPD1L gene have been linked to serious medical conditions like SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and Brugada syndrome type 2, a type of inherited cardiac arrhythmia.
Description
Recombinant GPD1L Human, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 371 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 351). With a molecular weight of 40.6 kDa, this protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at its N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized through filtration.
Formulation
The GPD1L protein solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. It is formulated in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the product can be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
Purity of the GPD1L protein is greater than 95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Expression

The GPD1L protein is a member of the NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family. It is primarily found in the cytoplasm and is associated with the plasma membrane. The protein is highly expressed in heart tissue, with lower levels in skeletal muscle, kidney, lung, and other organs .

Function

GPD1L plays a significant role in regulating cardiac sodium current. It binds to the sodium channel, voltage-gated, type V, alpha subunit (SCN5A). Decreased enzymatic activity of GPD1L leads to increased levels of glycerol-3-phosphate, which activates the DPD1L-dependent SCN5A phosphorylation pathway. This may ultimately result in decreased sodium current. Additionally, alterations in the NAD(H) balance induced by GPD1L can also reduce cardiac sodium current .

Clinical Significance

Mutations or defects in the GPD1L gene are associated with several medical conditions:

  • Brugada Syndrome Type 2 (BRS2): This is an autosomal dominant tachyarrhythmia characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body, leading to fainting or sudden death if the heart is not reset .
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): GPD1L defects are also linked to SIDS, which is the sudden death of an infant younger than one year that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of clinical history .
Recombinant GPD1L

Recombinant human GPD1L is produced using an expression system, typically in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein is purified to a high degree of purity, often greater than 95%, and is used in various research applications, including SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry .
