Enzymes

Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions, and they are known to catalyze more than 5,000 biochemical reaction types. Most enzymes are proteins, although a few are catalytic RNA molecules. Choose specific enzymes for cleaving bonds, removing genomic DNA from RNA preparations, for producing fragments of proteins, or for use in ion exchange chromatography. Enzymes are used in the chemical industry and other industrial applications when extremely specific catalysts are required.

Human recombinant Kynurenine Aminotransferase II (from E. coli)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

Kynurenine aminotransferases (KATs) are pyridoxal-5’-phosphate-dependent enzymes that catalyse the conversion of L-kynurenine into kynurenic acid, a neuroactive metabolite whose unbalancing is associated with a number of brain disorders. Biochemical and structural investigations revealed that L-kynurenine (L-KYN) recognition by hKAT II is achieved by exploiting structural features that are peculiar of this isoform, thus offering the possibility to select/design inhibitor molecules specifically targeting hKAT II to be used as modulators of kynurenic acid synthesis in the CNS. hKAT II is one of the aminotransferases involved in the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent irreversible transamination of L-kynurenine (L-KYN) to kynurenic acid (KYNA) in the central nervous system. When assayed in vitro the protein also displays beta-elimination activity.

Human recombinant Caspase 14 (from E. coli)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

Caspase 14 (CASP14) is an enzyme that belongs to the peptidase C14A family. The Caspase 14 protein is complexed of unprocessed caspase-14 and processed 19 kDa (p19) and 10 kDa (p10) subunits. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes, which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerise to form the active enzyme. CASP14 has been shown to be processed and activated by Caspase 8 and Caspase 10 in vitro, and by anti-Fas agonist antibody or TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand in vivo. The expression and processing of this caspase may be involved in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, which is important for the formation of the skin barrier. It is believed to be a non-apoptotic caspase which is involved in epidermal differentiation, keratinocyte differentiation and cornification. CASP14 probably regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin.

Human recombinant thymidine kinase 1 (from cells)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

Thymidine kinase 1(TK1) belongs to the thymidine kinase family. It is located in the cytoplasm, and phosphorylated on Ser-13 in mitosis during post-translational modification. Two forms of this protein have been identified in animal cells, one in cytosol TK1 and one in mitochondria TK2. Thymidine kinases have a key function in the synthesis of DNA and thereby in cell division, as they are part of the unique reaction chain to introduce deoxythymidine into the DNA. Activity of the cytosolic enzyme is high in proliferating cells and peaks during the S-phase of the cell cycle, while it is very low in resting cells. TK1 acts as a homotetramer, and can transform thymidime to thymidine 5'-phosphate with the help of ATP.

Human recombinant PAPS synthase 1 (from cells)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

PAPSS1 is a bifunctional enzyme with both ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase activity. In the N-terminal section, it belongs to the APS kinase family; while the C-terminal section belongs to the sulfate adenylyltransferase family. PAPSS1 can be inhibited by chlorate, and is expressed in many tissues, such as high endothelial venules (HEV) cells and in cartilage. PAPSS1 mediates two steps in the sulfate activation pathway. The first step is the transfer of a sulfate group to ATP to yield adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS), and the second step is the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to APS yielding 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate. In mammals, PAPS is the sole source of sulfate; APS appears to be only an intermediate in the sulfate-activation pathway. PAPSS1 also involved in the biosynthesis of sulfated L-selectin ligands in endothelial cells.
