Introduction
Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 7 Member A3 or AKR7A3, is an enzyme, it is part of the detoxification of aldehydes and ketones process. AKR7A3 diminishes the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 to the non-binding AFB1 dialcohol. The enzyme takes partin protection of liver from toxic and carcinogenic effects of AFB1, a potent hepatocarcinogen.
Description
AKR7A3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 331 amino acids (1-331) and having a molecular mass of 37.7 kDa.
AKR7A3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The AKR7A3 solution (1mg/ml) contains 10% Glycerol and 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.5).
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.
