PGP produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 345 amino acids (1-321 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 36.5kDa. PGP is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP) is discovered in all tissues including red cells, lymphocytes and cultured fibroblasts (at protein level). PGP is most active in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The catalytic activity of PGP is 2-phosphoglycolate + H2O = glycolate + phosphate. Diseases associated with PGP include tardive dyskinesia and polycystic kidney disease.
