NAD-ME Protein, Human (N-His)

NAD-ME, a mitochondrial malic enzyme, relies on NAD and catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate within the mitochondria. Essential for cellular energy metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, NAD-ME links metabolic pathways, influencing energy production and precursor molecule generation. Its enzymatic role is pivotal for balancing cellular redox reactions and meeting the cell's metabolic demands. NAD-ME Protein, Human (N-His) is the recombinant human-derived NAD-ME protein, expressed by E. coli, with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of NAD-ME Protein, Human (N-His) is 566 a.a., with molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa.

NAD-ME is a mitochondrial malic enzyme characterized by its dependence on NAD and its role in catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate. This enzymatic activity takes place within the mitochondria, contributing to cellular energy metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. By facilitating the conversion of malate to pyruvate, NAD-ME plays a crucial role in linking various metabolic pathways, impacting both energy production and the generation of precursor molecules. This enzymatic function is integral to maintaining the balance of cellular redox reactions and supporting the metabolic demands of the cell.

Measured by its ability to catalyzed the reduction of NAD+ to NADH, and the rate of NADH increase was measured at 340 nm. The enzyme activity is 5.54×10³ U/mg prot.

  Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCL, 300 mM NaCl, 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. 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.
