SPEA Protein, E.coli (His)

Cat. No.: HY-P71695
Handling Instructions

SPEA is a key enzyme in cellular metabolism responsible for the biosynthesis of agmatine from arginine. This catalytic process involves the conversion of arginine to agmatine, thereby forming a complex network of biochemical pathways within the cell. SPEA Protein, E.coli (His) is the recombinant E. coli-derived SPEA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of SPEA Protein, E.coli (His) is 654 a.a., with molecular weight of ~77.4 kDa.

Description

This catalytic process involves the conversion of arginine to agmatine, thereby forming a complex network of biochemical pathways within the cell. SPEA Protein, E.coli (His) is the recombinant E. coli-derived SPEA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

SPEA, also known as agmatine ureohydrolase, is an enzyme that plays a central role in the biosynthesis of agmatine from arginine. Specifically, SPEA catalyzes the conversion of arginine into agmatine, a process crucial in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds. This enzymatic activity is a key step in the arginine catabolic pathway, contributing to the generation of agmatine, a biogenic amine with diverse physiological functions. It has to underscore SPEA's role in the synthesis of agmatine, shedding light on its importance in cellular nitrogen metabolism and the broader implications of agmatine in various biological processes.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
