OTC, Human

(Ornithine carbamoyltransferase mitochondrial, Ornithine transcarbamylase, OTCase, OCTD, EC 2.1.3.3.)

OTC is a member of the ATCase/OTCase family. OTC has a key part in the urea cycle, catalyzing the second step in this pathway: the transformation of L-orthinine and carbamoyl phosphate to L-citrulline. In humans, the urea cycle is a vital pathway to detoxification of ammonia. Alterations in the gene encoding OTC are linked to the X-linked disorder OTCD (ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency). OTCD disorder of the urea cycle is characterized by hyperammonemia.

OTC Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 347 amino acids (33-354) and having a molecular mass of 38.9kDa. OTC is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Source: E.coli.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation: The OTC solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM MES buffer (pH 6.0), 100mM Nacl, 2mM DTT and 10% glycerol.
