Description
This enzyme was thought to form AMP, but studies with highly purified enzyme proved that it forms ADP. Carnosine is a dipeptide that is present at high concentrations in skeletal muscle and the olfactory bulb of vertebrates. It is also found in the skeletal muscle of some invertebrates. The enzyme can also catalyse the formation of homocarnosine from 4-aminobutanoate and L-histidine, with much lower activity.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
carnosine synthetase; carnosine-anserine synthetase; homocarnosine-carnosine synthetase; carnosine-homocarnosine synthetase;L-histidine:β-alanine ligase (AMP-forming) (incorrect)
Reaction
ATP + L-histidine + β-alanine = ADP + phosphate + carnosine
