Recombinant Human ASS1 (N-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Human ASS1 (N-6His) protein,aslo know as Argininosuccinate Synthase,Citrulline--Aspartate Ligase,ASS1,ASS, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Human Argininosuccinate Synthase is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Lys412 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.Accession:P00966. Expression Host:E.coli.Species:Human.Predicted Molecular Mass:42.8 KDa. Background:Argininosuccinate Synthase (ASS1) is an urea cycle enzyme with a tetrameric structure composed of identical subunits. ASS1 is involved in the synthesis of arginine and catalyzes that condensation of citrulline and aspartate to argininosuccinate using ATP. ASS1 is important to the urea cycle as it catalyzes the important second last step in the arginine biosynthetic pathway. ASS1 mainly expressed in periportal hepatocytes, but also in most other body tissues. A deficiency of ASS1 causes citrullinemia (CTLN1), an autosomal recessive disease which is characterized by severe vomiting spells and mental retardation.
