METAP1, Human

(Methionine aminopeptidase 1, MAP 1, MetAP 1, Peptidase M 1, METAP1, KIAA0094, MAP1A, MetAP1A.)

Methionine aminopeptidase 1 (METAP1) is a member of the peptidase M24A family. METAP1 removes the amino-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. METAP1 releases N-terminal amino acids, preferentially methionine, from peptides and arylamides. METAP1 is essential for normal progression through the cell cycle. The active site of METAP1 contains 2 adjacent divalent metal ions linked by a water molecule or hydroxide ion.

METAP1 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 409 amino acids (1-386) and having a molecular mass of 45.7kDa. METAP1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & 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 METAP1 solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 3mM DTT, 40% glycerol, 200mM NaCl and 0.1mM PMSF.
