Introduction
HINT1, alternatively known as Histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1, belongs to a protein superfamily characterized by a near C-terminal HXHXHXX motif (H=Histidine, X=a hydrophobic amino acid). This motif interacts with the ?-phosphate of nucleotide substrates. HINT1 exhibits hydrolytic activity towards adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidate substrates, including AMP-morpholidate, AMP-N-alanine methyl ester, AMP-alpha-acetyl lysine methyl ester, and AMP-NH2. Initially, it was thought to inhibit protein kinase C and function as a haplod-insufficient tumor suppressor, with observations of spontaneous tumor development in Hint+/- and Hint-/- models. However, its precise physiological role remains to be fully elucidated.
Description
Recombinant human HINT1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 126 amino acids (1-126 a.a.). It has a molecular weight of 13.8 kDa. The purification of HINT1 is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A sterile, colorless solution.
Formulation
The HINT1 solution is supplied in 20mM Tris buffer at pH 8.0 with 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure long-term stability during storage, adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised. It is crucial to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of HINT1 is determined to be greater than 90.0% by SDS-PAGE analysis.
