SULT1C2, Recombinant, Human, CF (Sulfotransferase 1C2, ST1C2, Sulfotransferase 1C1, SULT1C#1, humSUL

Cytosolic sulfotransferases catalyze the sulfonation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. They are distinct from Golgi-resident sulfotransferases by the absence of transmembrane domains and are located in the cytoplasm. SULT1C2 is mainly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, caecum and rectum), liver and kidneys, but not in the lungs. In contrast, SULT1C4, a sulfotransferase that is most closely related to SULT1C2, is expressed at higher levels in fetal lung and kidney and at lower levels in fetal heart. So far, SULT1C2 is found to be active only on pnitrophenol. The enzymatic activity of our recombinant human SULT1C2 was determined using a phosphatase coupled assay. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa2-296 from human SULT1C2 fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli. Molecular Weight: ~38kD, Biological Activity: Measured by its ability to transfer sulfate from PAPS to 4nitrophenol. The specific activity is >45pmol/min/ug, as measured under the described conditions. Endotoxin: ~1EU/1ug (LAL) , Storage and Stability:, Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70°C. Aliquots are stable for 6 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
