GOT2 Mouse, Active

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.GOT2 is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which is found in cytoplasmic and inner-membrane mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2. GOT2 participates in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. Both enzymes are homodimeric and demonstrate close homology.GOT2 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 422 amino acids (30-430 aa) and having a molecular mass of 46.8kDa.GOT2 is fused to a 21 amino acid His tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Protein function: Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). As a member of the malate-aspartate shuttle, it has a key role in the intracellular NAD(H) redox balance. Is important for metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytosol, and for amino acid metabolism. Facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids. [The UniProt Consortium]
