AS3MT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 399 amino acids (1-375 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 44.3kDa.AS3MT is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Arsenic Methyltransferase (AS3MT) catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to trivalent arsenical and may have a role in arsenic metabolism. AS3MT methylates arsenite to produce methylarsonate, Me-AsO3H2, which is reduced by methylarsonate reductase to methylarsonite, Me-As(OH)2. Methylarsonite which is also a substrate, is transformed into the much less toxic complex dimethylarsinate (cacodylate), Me2As(O)-OH.
