SKU TP720757L

Purified recombinant protein of Human prostaglandin D2 synthase 21kDa (brain) (PTGDS)

Product Data

• Species: Human
• Expression Host: HEK293
• Expression cDNA Clone or AA Sequence:
  Protein Sequence

  Ala23-Gln190
• Tag: C-6His
• Predicted MW: 19.7 kDa
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining
• Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is < 0.1 ng/µg of protein (< 1 EU/µg)
• Reconstitution Method: Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. It is not recommended to reconstitute a concentration less than 100 µg/ml. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-5 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
• Stability: Stable for at least 3 months from date of receipt under proper storage and handling conditions.
• Shipping: Ambient

• Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a glutathione-independent prostaglandin D synthase that catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to postaglandin D2 (PGD2). PGD2 functions as a neuromodulator as well as a trophic factor in the central nervous system. PGD2 is also involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. This gene is preferentially expressed in brain. Studies with transgenic mice overexpressing this gene suggest that this gene may be also involved in the regulation of non-rapid eye movement sleep. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
