DCTD, Human

(Deoxycytidylate deaminase, EC 3.5.4.12, dCMP Deaminase, DCTD, MGC111062.)

DCTD is an allosteric enzyme that exists as a homohexamer and is part of the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase protein family. DTCD uses zinc as a cofactor to catalyze the deamination of dCMP to dUMP, thus making the nucleotide substrate (dUMP) that is used by thymidylate synthase.

DCTD Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 198 amino acids (1-178 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 22.1 kDa. The DCTD is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purity: Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The DCTD solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 1mM DTT, 1mM EDTA & 20% glycerol.
