Recombinant Human EPT1 (N-GST)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Human EPT1 (N-GST) protein,aslo know as Ethanolaminephosphotransferase 1,hEPT1,Selenoprotein I,SelI,EPT1,KIAA1724,SELI, 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 Ethanolaminephosphotransferase 1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Pro50 is expressed with a GST tag at the N-terminus.Accession:Q9C0D9. Expression Host:E.coli.Species:Human.Predicted Molecular Mass:32.6 KDa. Background:Ethanolaminephosphotransferase 1 (EPT1) is an enzyme that belongs to the CDP-Alcohol Phosphatidyltransferase Class-I Family. EPT1 is a Selenoprotein, which contains a Selenocysteine (Sec) residue at its active site. The Selenocysteine is encoded by the UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3 UTR of Selenoprotein genes have a common stem-loop structure, the sec insertion sequence (SECIS), that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. EPT1 catalyzes Phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis from CDP-Ethanolamine. It plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of vesicular membranes. EPT1 is involved in the formation of Phosphatidylethanolamine via the Kennedy pathway.
