Introduction:
MAT2A is an important enzyme in cellular metabolism and catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) from L-methionine and ATP. MAT2A is expressed in extrahepatic tissues. In liver, MAT2A expression associates with growth, dedifferentiation, and cancer. NF-kappa B and AP-1 are necessary for basal MAT2A expression in HepG2 cells and mediate the increase in MAT2A expression in response to TNF-alpha. Up-regulation of MAT2A provides growth improvement and s-adenosylmethionine and methylthioadenosine thus can block mitogenic signaling in colon cancer cells. Lower expression of both MAT2A and MAT2beta and interfere with leptin signaling in liver cancer cells.

Description:
MAT2A Human Recombinant fused with His tag (20 a.a.) at C-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 415 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 45.8 kDa.
The MAT2A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Escherichia Coli.

Formulation:
The MAT2A solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris pH-8 & 10% glycerol.

Stability:
MAT2A although stable 4°C for 4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity:
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
