Introduction
DCXR catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of numerous pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl molecules and L-xylulose. DCXR takes part in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. DCXR participates in the water absorption and
cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thus preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.
Description
DCXR Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 264 amino acids (1-244 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 28 kDa. The DCXR is fused to a 20 amino acids His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The DCXR (0.5mg/ml) solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl
buffer (pH 8.0), 1mM DTT, 20% glycerol and 50mM NaCl.
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.

Purity
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 1,800 pmol/min/ug and is
defined as the amount of enzyme that oxidize 1pmole of xylitol to L-xylulose
per minute at pH 10.0 at 37C.
