SKU:: 132151
Purity:: Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Mouse
Immunogen:: Partial recombinant corresponding to aa198-298 from QPRT (NP_055113) with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26kD.
Clone:: 5D11
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2.
Extra Details:: This gene encodes a key enzyme in catabolism of quinolinate, an intermediate in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway. Quinolinate acts as a most potent endogenous exitotoxin to neurons. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease.
