Recombinant Human MetAP1D (N, C-6His)

Recombinant Human Methionine Aminopeptidase 1D Mitochondrial is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Arg44-Ala335 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus, 6His tag at the C-terminus. Methionine Aminopeptidase 1D (METAP1D) is a mitochondrion protein that belongs to the peptidase M24A family. METAP1D is overexpressed at the protein level in colon cancer cell lines and colon tumors as compared to normal tissues. N-terminal methionine removal is an important cellular process required for proper biological activity, subcellular localization, and eventual degradation of many proteins. METAP1D is also active with zinc, manganese or divalent ions. It may also play an important role in colon tumorigenesis. Protein Function: Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). Requires deformylation of the N(alpha)-formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed (By similarity). May play a role in colon tumorigenesis [The Uniprot Consortium]
