FDPS Protein, Mouse (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

FDPS proteins are key enzymes in isoprenoid biosynthesis and play a crucial role in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). FPP is a precursor of essential metabolites involved in protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation. FDPS Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived FDPS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

FDPS proteins are key enzymes in isoprenoid biosynthesis and play a crucial role in the formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). FPP is a precursor of essential metabolites involved in protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation. FDPS Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived FDPS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) emerges as a pivotal enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis, driving the crucial formation of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). FPP, a key precursor for various essential metabolites such as sterols, dolichols, carotenoids, and ubiquinones, also serves as a substrate for protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation. The catalytic activity of FDPS involves the sequential condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the allylic pyrophosphates, first with dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and then with the resulting geranylpyrophosphate, ultimately yielding the essential product, farnesyl pyrophosphate. This intricate enzymatic process underscores FDPS's central role in the synthesis of fundamental cellular components and post-translational modifications critical for diverse cellular functions.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

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.
