Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 36-486 aa
• Form: PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.01% SKL, 1mM DTT, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Bio-activity: Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a mitochondrial, biotin-containing enzyme catalyzing the ATP-dependent synthesis of oxaloacetate from pyruvate and bicarbonate, with a critical anaplerotic role in sustaining the brain metabolism. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial neurometabolic disorder of energy deficit resulting in high morbidity and mortality, with limited therapeutic options. Besides, PCK2 has been identified as an interactor of PC, thus a functional binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human PC and recombinant human PCK2. Briefly, biotin-linked PC were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 ul were then transferred to PCK2-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37°C. Wells were washed with PBST 3 times and incubation with Streptavidin-HRP for 30 min, then wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37°C. Finally, add 50 µl stop solution to the wells and read at 450 nm immediately. The binding activity of PC and PCK2 was shown, the EC50 for this effect is 0.056 ug/mL.
