| Description | DCTD Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 198 amino acids (1-178 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22.1 kDa. The DCTD is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The DCTD solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 1mM DTT, 1mM EDTA & 20% glycerol. |
| Protein Background | DCTD is an allosteric enzyme that exists as a homohexamer and is part of the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase protein family. DTCD uses zinc as a cofactor to catalyze the deamination of dCMP to dUMP, thus making the nucleotide substrate (dUMP) that is used by thymidylate synthase. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | 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).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Deoxycytidylate deaminase, EC 3.5.4.12, dCMP Deaminase, DCTD, MGC111062. |
