Glycine N-methyltransferase Human Recombinant

Glycine N-methyltransferase Human Recombinant Shipping:Ice Packs Synonyms Glycine N-methyltransferase, GNMT. Introduction GNMT is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of S-adenosyl-L-methionine with glycine to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and sarcosine. GNMT is located in the cytoplasm and acts as a homotetramer. Defects in the GNMT gene causes of GNMT deficiency (hypermethioninemia). GNMT affects DNA methylation by regulating the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocystine and is involved in the detoxification pathway in liver cells. GNMT expression is diminished in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). GNMT catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using s- adenosylmethionine (adomet) to form n-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concomitant production of s-adenosylhomocysteine (adohcy). GNMT plays an essential role in the regulation of tissue concentration of adomet and of metabolism of methionine. Description GNMT Human Recombinant fused with 20 amino acid His-Tag tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing a total of 315 amino acids (1-295 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 34.9 kDa.
The GNMT is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Source Escherichia Coli. Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered colorless solution. Formulation The GNMT solution contains 20mM Tris pH 8.0 & 20% glycerol. Stability GNMT 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.
