PYCRL, Human

(Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 3, P5C reductase 3, P5CR 3, Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase-like protein, PYCRL.)

Pyrroline-5-Carboxylate Reductase Like (PYCRL) is a member of the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase family and acts as a homodecamer. PYCRL plays a key role in proline bio-synthesis. Proline serves as a non-enzymatic antioxidant to reduce damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in microorganisms, animals and plants. In the final stage of proline biosynthesis, PYCRL catalyzes the reduction of aldehyde dehydrogenase 4A1 (ALDH4A1) to proline with NAD(P)H as the cofactor.

PYCRL Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 297 amino acids (1-274) and having a molecular mass of 31kDa. PYCRL 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 PYCRL solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.2M NaCl, 50% glycerol and 2mM DTT.
