DHFR protein, a pivotal enzyme in folate metabolism, is crucial for multiple pathways. It catalyzes reactions essential for de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis, de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and DNA precursor synthesis. Beyond its catalytic role, DHFR binds its own mRNA and DHFR2 mRNA, hinting at a regulatory role in self-expression control and potential influence on related cellular processes. DHFR Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived DHFR protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Description

DHFR protein, a pivotal enzyme in folate metabolism, is crucial for multiple pathways. It catalyzes reactions essential for de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis, de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and DNA precursor synthesis. Beyond its catalytic role, DHFR binds its own mRNA and DHFR2 mRNA, hinting at a regulatory role in self-expression control and potential influence on related cellular processes. DHFR Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived DHFR protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free.

Background

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) stands as a pivotal enzyme in folate metabolism, playing a crucial role in multiple essential pathways. It contributes significantly to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway, catalyzing reactions vital for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, as well as the synthesis of DNA precursors. Beyond its catalytic functions, DHFR exhibits the ability to bind its own mRNA and that of DHFR2, thereby suggesting a regulatory role in the control of its own expression and potentially influencing related cellular processes.

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
