Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | Q13093 |
Synonym | LDL-PLA2, LP-PLA2, PAFAD, PAFAH |
Background | Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase, also known as 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase, 2-acetyl-1-alkylglycero-phosphocholine esterase, Group-VIIA phospholipase A2, LDL-associated phospholipase A2, PAF 2-acylhydrolase, PLA2G7 and PAFAH, is secreted protein which belongs to theAB hydrolase superfamily and Lipase family. PLA2G7 / PAFAH modulates the action of platelet-activating factor (PAF) by hydrolyzing the sn-2 ester bond to yield the biologically inactive lyso-PAF. It has a specificity for substrates with a short residue at the sn-2 position. It is inactive against long-chain phospholipids. PLA2G7 / PAFAH is a potent pro- and anti-inflammatory molecule that has been implicated in multiple inflammatory disease processes, including cardiovascular disease. PLA2G7 also represents an important, potentially functional candidate in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). Defects in PLA2G7 are the cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency (PLA2G7 deficiency). It is a trait which is present in 27% of Japanese. It could have a significant physiologic effect in the presence of inflammatory bodily responses. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human PLA2G7 (Q13093-1) precursor (Met 1-Asn 441) was expressed, with a C-terminal His tag. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Phe 22 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Asn 441 |
Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant human PLA2G7 comprises 431 a.a. with a predicted molecular mass of 49.2 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, it migrates as an approximately 50-55 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
Purity | >88% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Measured by its ability to cleave a colorimetric peptide substrate, 1O-hexadecyl-2-deoxy-2-thio Sacetylsnglyceryl-3-phosphoryl choline (2-Thio-PAF), in the presence of 5, 5-€™Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB).The specific activity is >5000 pmoles/min/ug. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile 50mM NaAc, 150mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, pH 5.0. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
