Human ITPase, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Inosine Triphosphate Pyrophosphatase is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ala2-Ala194 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: Pyrophosphatase that hydrolyzes the non-canonical purine nucleotides inosine triphosphate (ITP), deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) as well as 2'-deoxy-N-6-hydroxylaminopurine triposphate (dHAPTP) and xanthosine 5'-triphosphate (XTP) to their respective monophosphate derivatives. The enzyme does not distinguish between the deoxy- and ribose forms. Probably excludes non-canonical purines from RNA and DNA precursor pools, thus preventing their incorporation into RNA and DNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions. [The UniProt Consortium]
