Recombinant Human ASAH1 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: ASAH1-524H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human ASAH1(Cys143~Trp395) fused with His tag at N-terminal was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a member of the acid ceramidase family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed. Processing of this preproprotein generates alpha and beta subunits that heterodimerize to form the mature lysosomal enzyme, which catalyzes the degradation of ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid. This enzyme is overexpressed in multiple human cancers and may play a role in cancer progression. Mutations in this gene are associated with the lysosomal storage disorder, Farber lipogranulomatosis, and a neuromuscular disorder, spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy.

Can alterations in ASAH1 gene expression affect cellular differentiation?

Yes, alterations in ASAH1 gene expression or activity can impact cellular differentiation processes, as ceramide metabolism is crucial for normal development and tissue homeostasis.

Are there any diseases or conditions associated with the ASAH1 protein?

Yes, mutations or deficiencies in the ASAH1 gene are associated with Farber disease, a rare inherited disorder characterized by the accumulation of ceramide in tissues throughout the body.

Can ASAH1 deficiency be prevented?

ASAH1 deficiency, as seen in Farber disease, is a genetic disorder. Prevention involves genetic counseling for at-risk individuals and prenatal testing during pregnancy.

Can ASAH1 deficiency be detected in newborn screening tests?

Currently, ASAH1 deficiency is not included in routine newborn screening panels. However, advancements in testing methods may lead to its inclusion in the future.

Does the ASAH1 protein have any other biological functions?

Besides its role in ceramide metabolism, the ASAH1 protein can affect immune response, inflammation, and cellular stress responses.

How does dysfunction of the ASAH1 protein impact ceramide metabolism?
