| Biological Activity | Specific activity is > 700 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyze the oxidation of 1.0 pmole 1-Acenaphthenol in the presence of NADP per minute at pH 8.8 at 25°C. |
| Description | AKR1C4 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 343 amino acids (1-323) and having a molecular mass of 39.2 kDa.The AKR1C4 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | AKR1C4 protein 1mg/ml is supplied in 20mM Tris-HCl, pH-8, 0.1M NaCl, 1mM DTT and 20% Glycerol. |
| Protein Background | AKR1C4 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily that has over 40 known enzymes and proteins. AKR1C4 enables the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. AKR1C4 takes part in the bioreduction of chlordecone, a toxic organochlorine pesticide, to chlordecone alcohol in liver. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | AKR1C4 is supplied as a sterile filtered clear 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 | Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4 (chlordecone reductase 3-alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 4), 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I, MGC22581, HAKRA, 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 4, CDR, DD4, CHDR, 3-alpha-HSD1, C11. |
