| Activity Determination | Urate oxidase catalyzes the enzymatic oxidation (degrades) of uric acid into allantoin, an inactive and soluble metabolite, which is 5 to 10 fold more soluble than uric acid . Urate oxidase is an enzyme of the purine breakdown pathway that catalyses the oxidation of uric acid to allantoin. Uricase is present in numerous diverse organisms, but not in higher primates including human. Hyperuricaemia is most commonly associated with gout and also occurs in mammalians with malignancy, especially those with lymphoid malignancies due to rapid cell turnover and an increased rate of purine metabolism. Uricase is effective in the prevention and treatment of hyperuricaemia in mammalians with malignancy and in those who have undergone transplantation. It appears to act rapidly, safely and induces a more dramatic decrease in plasma levels of uric acid. |

| Description | Recombinant Human THTPA produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 250 amino acids (1-230 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 27.7 kDa. THTPA is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-Terminus and purified by conventional chromatography techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The THTPA 1mg/ml protein solution contains 20mM Tris-HCL buffer, pH-8, 1mM DTT and 10% Glycerol. |
| Physical Appearence | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Protein Background | THTPA enzyme is part of the THTPase family. THTPA is localized to the cytoplasm and expressed at small quantities in a variety of tissues, including testis, uterus, prostate, bladder, lung and kidney. THTPA is a hydrolase that catalyzes the H2O-dependent hydrolysis of thiamine triphosphate (THTP) to thiamine diphosphate (THDP), the main form of thiamine within the cell. THTPA occurs as a monomer and is activated at an optimal pH of 8.5. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Stability | Store THTPA 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 | MGC2652, THTP, THTPASE. |
