TKT is a thiamine-dependent enzyme that takes part in the channeling of leftover sugar phosphates to glycolysis in the pentose phosphate pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants are known that encode the same protein.
Description: TKT Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 643 amino acids (1-623) and having a molecular mass of 70.0kDa.
TKT is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation: The TKT solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 100mM Nacl, 1mM DTT and 10% glycerol.
Stability: Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
