Pyridoxal Kinase Protein, Human (GST)

Pyridoxal Kinase Protein catalyzes vitamin B6 vitamer phosphorylation—converting pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN), and pyridoxamine (PM) into active forms: pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) (Probable). PLP serves as the active cofactor in more than 140 enzymatic reactions. Pyridoxal Kinase Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Pyridoxal Kinase protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.

Description

Pyridoxal Kinase Protein catalyzes vitamin B6 vitamer phosphorylation—converting pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN), and pyridoxamine (PM) into active forms: pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) (Probable). PLP serves as the active cofactor in more than 140 enzymatic reactions. Pyridoxal Kinase Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Pyridoxal Kinase protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.

Background

The Pyridoxal Kinase protein plays a pivotal role in cellular metabolism by catalyzing the phosphorylation of the dietary vitamin B6 vitamers pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN), and pyridoxamine (PM) to generate their respective phosphorylated forms: pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), and pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP), as supported by various studies. PLP, the active form of vitamin B6, serves as a crucial cofactor in over 140 different enzymatic reactions, underscoring the significance of Pyridoxal Kinase in facilitating the conversion of vitamin B6 vitamers into their bioactive forms essential for a myriad of cellular processes.

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.
