Introduction
Farnesyl-Diphosphate Farnesyltransferase 1, also known as FDFT1 is a
membrane-associated enzyme sited at a branch point in the mevalonate pathway. FDFT1
belongs to the phytoene/squalene synthase family. FDFT1 is the 1st specific
enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, which catalyzes the dimerization of 2
molecules of farnesyl diphosphate in a two-step reaction to form squalene.
Description
FDFT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,
non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 306 amino acids (1-283 a.a) and
having a molecular mass of 35.4 kDa.
FDFT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus
& purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
FDFT1 protein solution (0.25 mg/ml) containing 20mM
Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol and 0.4M Urea.
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.
