ABHD4 Protein, Human (sf9, His)

ABHD4 is a lysophospholipase that acts selectively on N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPE), which is essential for the biosynthesis of N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines such as anandamide. It hydrolyzes the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains in NAPE to generate glycerophosphate-N-acylethanolamine (GP-NAE), which is an important intermediate in the production of N-acylethanolamine. ABHD4 Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived ABHD4 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with N-His labeled tag.

Description

ABHD4 is a lysophospholipase that acts selectively on N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPE), which is essential for the biosynthesis of N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines such as anandamide. It hydrolyzes the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains in NAPE to generate glycerophosphate-N-acylethanolamine (GP-NAE), which is an important intermediate in the production of N-acylethanolamine. ABHD4 Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived ABHD4 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

ABHD4, a lysophospholipase, exhibits selectivity for N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) and plays a vital role in the biosynthesis of N-acyl ethanolamines, such as the endocannabinoid anandamide. It achieves this by hydrolyzing the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains from NAPE, generating glycerophospho-N-acyl ethanolamine (GP-NAE), an intermediate crucial for N-acyl ethanolamine biosynthesis. ABHD4 demonstrates activity across a range of substrates with saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated N-acyl chains, contributing to the diversity of N-acyl ethanolamines produced. Notably, it exhibits no significant activity towards other lysophospholipids, including lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylserine.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
