Product Overview

Tag His
Host Species Human
Accession P16444
Synonym MBD1, MDP, RDP
Background Dehydropeptidase-I, also known as DPEP1, is a kidney membrane enzyme. Its expression in normal colonic mucosa is very low, but it is highly expressed in colorectal adenoma and cancer specimens and is negatively correlated with parameters of pathological aggressiveness and poor prognosis. The overexpression of DPEP1 suppressed tumor cells invasiveness and increased sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agent Gemcitabine. Growth factor EGF treatment decreased DPEP1 expression. Dehydropeptidase-I may be a candidate target in PDAC for designing improved treatments. It uses zinc as a cofactor and acts as a disulfide-linked homodimer.
Description A DNA sequence encoding the human DPEP1 (P16444) (Met1-Ser385) was expressed with a His tag at the C-terminus.
Source HEK293
Predicted N Terminal Asp 17
AA Sequence Met1-Ser385

Target Details

Target Function Hydrolyzes a wide range of dipeptides including the conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. Hydrolyzes cystinyl-bis-glycine (cys-bis-gly) formed during glutathione degradation. Possesses also beta lactamase activity and hydrolytically inactivates beta-lactam antibiotics.; Independently of its dipeptidase activity acts as an adhesion receptor for neutrophils recruitement from bloodstream into inflammed lungs and liver.
Subcellular Location Apical cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Cell projection, microvillus membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor.
Protein Families Metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily, Peptidase M19 family
Database References
Tissue Specificity Expressed in lung and kidneys.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
