Product Specs

Introduction
X-Prolyl Aminopeptidase-1, also known as XPNPEP1, is a member of the peptidase M24B family. This enzyme, present in the cytosol, functions as a metalloaminopeptidase. Its primary role is to catalyze the removal of the N-terminal amino acid located next to a proline residue. Additionally, XPNPEP1 is involved in the degradation and maturation processes of tachykinins, neuropeptides, and peptide hormones.
Description
Recombinant human XPNPEP1, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 655 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 through 623). It possesses a molecular mass of 73.4 kDa. The protein is engineered with a 32-amino acid His-tag fused to its N-terminus and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The XPNPEP1 protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The solution contains phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) and 20% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For longer storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure long-term stability, adding a carrier protein (either 0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the XPNPEP1 protein is greater than 85.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The XPNPEP1 gene is located on chromosome 10 (10q25.1) in humans . The gene encodes a protein consisting of 623 amino acids . The enzyme functions as a homodimer and requires manganese ions for its catalytic activity .

Biological Functions

XPNPEP1 is involved in several biological processes, including:

  • Proteolysis: It contributes to the degradation of bradykinin, a peptide that causes blood vessels to dilate .
  • Peptide Hormone Maturation: It aids in the maturation of peptide hormones and neuropeptides .
  • Tachykinin Degradation: It plays a role in the degradation of tachykinins, which are neuropeptides involved in neurotransmission .
Clinical Significance

Mutations or deficiencies in the XPNPEP1 gene can lead to various disorders. For instance, a deficiency in XPNPEP1 results in the excretion of large amounts of imino-oligopeptides in urine . Additionally, diseases associated with XPNPEP1 include Deafness, Autosomal Recessive 84B and Spastic Paraplegia, Optic Atrophy, and Neuropathy .

Research and Applications

Recombinant human X-Prolyl Aminopeptidase-1 is used in research to study its role in peptide metabolism and its potential therapeutic applications. Understanding the enzyme’s function and regulation can provide insights into the treatment of related disorders and the development of therapeutic interventions.
