AKR1C4 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 343 amino acids (1-323) and having a molecular mass of 39.2 kDa.The AKR1C4 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
AKR1C4 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily that has over 40 known enzymes and proteins. AKR1C4 enables the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. AKR1C4 takes part in the bioreduction of chlordecone, a toxic organochlorine pesticide, to chlordecone alcohol in liver.
Specific activity is > 700 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyze the oxidation of 1.0 pmole 1-Acenaphthenol in the presence of NADP per minute at pH 8.8 at 25°C.
