Description

Product name: Triosephosphate Isomerase (TPI)

Product description: Recombinant Human TPI enzyme (active) produced in Nicotiana benthamiana by Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression.

Host species: Nicotiana benthamiana

Molecular weight: 54 kDa dimer (2x 27 kDa subunits)

Tag: N-terminal His-tag

Uses: For research use only. Examples include SDS-PAGE, Western Blot, functional assays.

Relevance: Involved in gluconeogenesis (carbohydrate biosynthesis) and glycolysis (carbohydrate degradation). TPI catalyses the reversible conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate D-glyceraldehyde. TPI deficiency (TPID) is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by several traits including progressive neuromuscular dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, susceptibility to bacterial infection and congenital haemolytic anaemia.1,2.

Specification:

Purity: >99 % as shown by SDS-PAGE.

Biological activity: Active. >1000 mU/mg. Measuring the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceradehyde-3-phosphate (GAP).

Endotoxin: Not tested.

Storage

Formulation: Lyophilized from 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 175 mM Trehalose Dihydrate and 0.9 mM DTT.
