Description

DHFR Mouse Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 207 amino acids (1-187 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.8kDa. The DHFR is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Formulation

The DHFR solution (1 mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer(pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, 2mM DTT and 0.1M NaCl.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

Specific activity is > 0.2 units/mg, in which one unit will convert 1.0 umole of 7,8 –dihydrofloate and beta-NADPH to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofloate and beta-NADP per min at pH 6.5 at 25C.

  • Introduction

    Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, with NADPH as electron donor that can be converted to the kinds of tetrahydrofolate cofactors applied in 1-carbon transfer chemistry. DHFR converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate, which is a methyl group shuttle required for the de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid, and specific amino acids. Even though the functional DHFR gene is mapped to chromosome 5, numerous intronless processed pseudogenes or dihydrofolate reductase-like genes are identified on separate chromosomes. DHFR deficiency is associated with megaloblastic anemia. DHFR knockdown plays a role in the anticancer activity of 2-hydroxyoleic acid. DHFR gene insertion/deletion polymorphism is linked to variation in serum and red blood cell folate concentrations in women.
