Biological Activity

Description

MECR Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MECR protein, expressed by HEK293, with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

Mitochondrial trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (MECR) is an oxidoreductase that catalyzes the last step in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (mtFAS). MECR catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl thioesters in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (fatty acid synthesis type II). Fatty acid chain elongation in mitochondria uses acyl carrier protein (ACP) as an acyl group carrier, but MECR accepts both ACP and CoA thioesters as substrates in vitro. MECR provides octanoyl chain for lipoic acid biosynthesis, regulating protein lipoylation and mitochondrial respiratory activity. Knockdown of MECR inhibits cell proliferation and colony formation, promotes apoptosis, and inhibits metastasis in HCC cell lines BEL-7404. In addition, MECR mutations cause childhood-onset dystonia and optic atrophy[1][2][3][4][5][6].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

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.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
