Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3/AKR1C3 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member C3 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Tyr323 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Tyr323. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 38 kDa. Protein function: AKR1C3, is an enzyme which belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family. It is expressed in many tissues including adrenal gland, brain, kidney, liver, lung, mammary gland, placenta, small intestine, colon, spleen, prostate and testis. AKR1C3 catalyzes the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. It catalyzes the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGH2 and phenanthrenequinone (PQ) and the oxidation of 9-alpha,11-beta-PGF2 to PGD2,which functions as a bi-directional 3-alpha-, 17-beta- and 20-alpha HSD. It can interconvert active androgens, estrogens and progestins with their cognate inactive metabolites. Protein function: Catalyzes the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols.
