Introduction
Phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP) is a member of the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. This enzyme is unique because it can hydrolyze both oxygen-phosphorus bonds, such as those found in inorganic pyrophosphate, and nitrogen-phosphorus bonds, like those in phospholysine, phosphohistidine, and imidodiphosphate. LHPP is found in several tissues, with high concentrations in the liver and kidney, and moderate levels in the brain.
Description
Recombinant human LHPP, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 307 amino acids, with amino acids 1-270 representing the LHPP protein, and has a molecular weight of 33.5 kDa. A 37 amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus of the protein to facilitate purification, which is carried out using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile solution.
Formulation
The LHPP solution is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol, and 0.1M NaCl.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the LHPP solution can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the solution at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing of the solution should be minimized.
Purity
The purity of LHPP is greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase, hLHPP, LHPP, HDHD2B.
