DCT Protein, Mouse (His-SUMO)

Cat. No.: HY-P72169
Handling Instructions

DCT (Dopachrome tautomerase) is pivotal in melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of L-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a critical step in melanin synthesis. DCT's enzymatic activity is integral to the complex processes governing melanin production, emphasizing its role in skin pigmentation and the regulation of melanin-related functions. DCT Protein, Mouse (His-SUMO) is the recombinant mouse-derived DCT protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-10*His, N-SUMO labeled tag. The total length of DCT Protein, Mouse (His-SUMO) is 449 a.a., with molecular weight of ~69.7 kDa.

Background

DCT (Dopachrome tautomerase) is integral to melanin biosynthesis, a process crucial for pigmentation. Functioning as an enzyme, DCT plays a key role in the conversion of L-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a pivotal step in the melanin synthesis pathway. The catalytic activity of DCT contributes to the intricate biochemical processes underlying the production of melanin, highlighting its significance in determining skin pigmentation and the regulation of melanin-related biological functions.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×
C1   V1   C2   V2

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
