Product Name: | Recombinant Human LTA4H Protein |
Catalog #: | HRP-1636 |
Manufacture: | LD Biopharma, Inc. |
Intruduction: | Leukotriene A4 hydrolase, also known as LTA4H is a bi-functional enzyme (EC 3.3.2.6) which converts leukotriene A4 to leukotriene B4 and acts as an aminopeptidase. Leukotriene B4 is a leukotriene involved in inflammation. It is produced from leukocytes in response to inflammatory mediators and is able to induce the adhesion and activation of leukocytes on the endothelium, allowing them to bind to and cross it into the tissue. In neutrophils, it is also a potent chemoattractant, and is able to induce the formation of reactive oxygen species and the release of lysosome enzymes by these cells. It is synthesized by LTA4H from leukotriene A4. Recent data indicated that LTB4 promote insulin resistance in mice model, by acting on macrophage, hepatocytes and myocytes. Full-length mature human LTA4H cDNA ( 610 aa, derived from BC032528 ) was constructed with codon optimization and expressed with a small T7-His-TEV cleavage site Tag (31aa) fusion at its N-terminal. This protein was expressed in E.coli as inclusion bodies. The final product was refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified. |
