NUDT5 / ADP-sugar Pyrophosphatase Protein (His tag) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the human NUDT5 (Q9UKK9) (Glu2-Phe219) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Glu2-Phe219. Fusion tag: N-His Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 35 kDa. Protein function: ADP-sugar Pyrophosphatase, also known as NUDT5, eliminates toxic nucleotide derivatives from the cell and regulate the levels of important signaling nucleotides and their metabolites. NUDT5 functions as a MutT-related protein and catalyzes the hydrolysis of 8-oxoGDP to 8-oxoGMP, thereby preventing misincorporation of 8-oxoGua into RNA. NUDT5 may play significant roles in regulating the G1-S transition in mammalian cells. It can also hydrolyze other nucleotide sugars with low activity. Protein function: Enzyme that can either act as an ADP-sugar pyrophosphatase in absence of diphosphate or catalyze the synthesis of ATP in presence of diphosphate (PubMed:27257257). In absence of diphosphate, hydrolyzes with similar activities various modified nucleoside diphosphates such as ADP-ribose, ADP-mannose, ADP-glucose, 8-oxo-GDP and 8-oxo-dGDP (PubMed:10567213, PubMed:10722730, PubMed:19699693, PubMed:21389046, PubMed:17052728). Can also hydrolyze other nucleotide sugars with low activity (PubMed:19699693, PubMed:21389046). In presence of diphosphate, mediates the synthesis of ATP in the nucleus by catalyzing the conversion of ADP-ribose to ATP and ribose 5- phosphate. Nuclear ATP synthesis takes place when dephosphorylated at Thr-45 (PubMed:27257257). Nuclear ATP generation is required for extensive chromatin remodeling events that are energy- consuming (PubMed:27257257). Does not play a role in U8 snoRNA decapping activity. Binds U8 snoRNA.
