tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis

Cat. No.: HY-P702097
Handling Instructions

TDC protein plays a key role in amino acid metabolism by catalyzing the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine, a process that has been confirmed in multiple studies. Interestingly, tdc exhibits specificity in that it cannot utilize other aromatic L-amino acids, such as L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-glutamic acid, as substrates. tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis is the recombinant tdc protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis is 626 a.a., .

Background

The tdc protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine. This enzymatic activity is crucial for the conversion of tyrosine into tyramine, a process that contributes to the biosynthesis of various biologically active amines. Importantly, tdc exhibits specificity towards L-tyrosine and cannot utilize other aromatic L-amino acids such as L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-glutamate as substrates. Notably, tdc can also decarboxylate levodopa (L-dopa), a medication used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, to produce dopamine in vitro. This broader substrate specificity suggests potential implications for tdc in neurotransmitter synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the context of Parkinson's disease therapy.

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.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

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)
× = ×
C1   V1   C2   V2

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
