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.
