Anti-PNP / Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. The PNP gene encodes Purine nucleoside phosphorylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of the purine nucleosides and deoxynucleosides inosine, guanosine, deoxyinosine, and deoxyguanosine. It is presented results from gene dosage studies consistent with assignment of the PNP locus to band 14q13. PNP is expressed in most tissues, with markedly greater expression in lymphoid tissues. Genetic deficiencies of PNP result in severely compromised T?lymphocyte function and neurologic dysfunction. Protein function: Catalyzes the phosphorolytic breakdown of the N-glycosidic bond in the beta-(deoxy)ribonucleoside molecules, with the formation of the corresponding free purine bases and pentose-1-phosphate (PubMed:9305964, PubMed:23438750). Preferentially acts on 6-oxopurine nucleosides including inosine and guanosine (PubMed:9305964). [The UniProt Consortium]
