APIP, Recombinant, Human, aa1-242, GST-Tag (Probable Methylthioribulose-1-phosphate Dehydratase)

Catalyzes the dehydration of methylthioribulose-1-phosphate (MTRu-1-P) into 2,3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate (DK-MTP-1-P). Functions in the methionine salvage pathway, which plays a key role in cancer, apoptosis, microbial proliferation and inflammation. May inhibit the CASP1-related inflammatory response (pyroptosis), the CASP9-dependent apoptotic pathway and the cytochrome c-dependent and APAF1-mediated cell death. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-242 from human APIP, fused to GST-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
