ECE-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
The ECE-2 protein plays a crucial role in vascular regulation by catalyzing the conversion of large endothelin-1 to endothelin-1, helping to regulate blood pressure and vascular tone. Furthermore, ECE-2 exhibits potential methyltransferase activity and may be involved in amyloid-β processing, suggesting that this enzyme has a broader impact on cellular function than its established role in endothelin processing. ECE-2 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived ECE-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293
-
Storage: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.

Background
The ECE-2 protein is an essential enzyme with dual functionality. Primarily, it plays a crucial role in converting big endothelin-1 to endothelin-1, a biologically active peptide involved in the regulation of vascular tone and blood pressure. In addition to its role in the endothelin system, ECE-2 exhibits potential methyltransferase activity, implying its involvement in the transfer of methyl groups between molecules. Moreover, there is a suggested role for ECE-2 in amyloid-beta processing, indicating a possible association with processes related to neurodegenerative conditions. The multifaceted nature of ECE-2's activities underscores its significance in both cardiovascular physiology, through endothelin processing, and potential contributions to molecular events associated with neurodegenerative disorders (

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
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).
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
