| Description | NIT2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 299 amino acids (1-276a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33kDa.NIT2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The NIT2 protein solution (1mg/1ml) is formulated in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) 1mM DTT, 0.1M NaCl, and 10% glycerol. |
| Inactivation | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.48 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of PDGF-BB as a Reference Standard. |
| Protein Background | NIT2 is a member of the nitrilase superfamily. NIT2 protein has an omega-amidase activity which removes potentially toxic intermediates by converting alpha-ketoglutaramate and alpha-ketosuccinamate to biologically useful alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively. In addition, Nit2 is widely distributed in nature and is thought to be a tumor suppressor protein. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered clear solution. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please avoid freeze thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Nitrilase homolog 2, Nitrilase family member 2, omega-amidase NIT2, MGC111199, Nit protein 2, EC 3.5.1.3. |
