Description

HPGD Recombinant E.coli produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 286 amino acids (1-266a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 31.1 kDa. HPGD is fused to a 20 amino acids His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
HPGD, or 15-PGDH, is the primary enzyme responsible for prostaglandin degradation. It significantly reduces the biological activity of prostaglandins by catalyzing the oxidation of their 15-hydroxyl group into a keto group. This enzyme plays a crucial role in various physiological and cellular processes, including inflammation.
Description
This recombinant HPGD protein, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 286 amino acids (residues 1-266), with a molecular weight of 31.1 kDa. The protein includes a 20 amino acid His-Tag at the N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation
The HPGD protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. The formulation buffer consists of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT, and 20% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the product can be stored 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. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of this protein is greater than 95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Function and Mechanism

15-PGDH is a NAD±linked dehydrogenase that catalyzes the oxidation of the hydroxyl group at the 15th position of prostaglandins to a ketone, leading to a loss of their biological activity . This reaction is essential for the regulation of prostaglandin levels in various tissues, thereby modulating inflammation, pain, and other physiological processes.

Structure

The recombinant human 15-PGDH is typically produced in E. coli and consists of a noncovalently-linked homodimer . The enzyme has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa, although it may appear as 28 kDa under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE due to post-translational modifications .

Applications

Recombinant 15-PGDH is used in various research applications, including studies on prostaglandin metabolism, inflammation, and cancer . It is also utilized in enzyme activity assays to measure the production of NADH during the oxidation of prostaglandins .

Storage and Stability

The enzyme is supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in HEPES, NaCl, DTT, and Glycerol. It should be stored at -70°C to maintain its stability and activity . Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to prevent degradation.
