Description
Aminoacylase-1 is a cytosolic, homodimeric, zinc-binding enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acylated L-amino acids to L-amino acids and acyl group, and has been postulated to function in the catabolism and salvage of acylated amino acids. ACY1 has been assigned to chromosome 3p21.1, a region reduced to homozygosity in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and its expression has been reported to be reduced or undetectable in SCLC cell lines and tumors. The amino acid sequence of human aminoacylase-1 is highly homologous to the porcine counterpart, and ACY1 is the first member of a new family of zinc-binding enzymes.
Abbr
ACY1, Recombinant (Human)
Appearance
Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Product Overview
ACY1 Recombinant Human produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 428 amino acids (1-408 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 48 kDa. The ACY1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Buffer
The ACY1 solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 1mM DTT & 10% glycerol.
