Recombinant Human QPRT, T7 -tagged

• Cat.No.: QPRT-30231TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length protein (Human) fused to T7-Tag (N-terminal).

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a key enzyme in catabolism of quinolinate, an intermediate in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway. Quinolinate acts as a most potent endogenous exitotoxin to neurons. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimers disease, and Huntingtons disease.
• Conjugation: T7
