| Background | CNDP1, also known as carnosine dipeptidase 1, glutamate carboxypeptidase-like protein 2 (CPGL-2) or carnosinase 1 (CN1), is a member of the M2 metalloprotease family. The CNDP1 gene contains trinucleotide (CTG) repeat length polymorphism in the coding region, which has been demonstrated to be associated with susceptibility to developing diabetic nephropathy, for carnosine protection against the adverse effects of high glucose levels on renal cells. In humans, CNDP1 is secreted from the liver into the serum. In other mammals, including rodents, CNDP1 is expressed exclusively within the kidney and lacks a signal peptide. CNDP1 protein is a secreted homodimeric dipeptidase that specifically hydrolyzes L-carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine), and is identified as human carnosinase expressed in the brain. CNDP1 has been associated with diabetic nephropathy in Europeans and European Americans, but not African-Americans. It was identified and confirmed as a risk factor, were cross-sectional and mostly in patients with type 2 diabetes. The polymorphisms of CNDP1 can be excluded as a risk factor for nephropathy in type 1 diabetes. In addition, CNDP1 is also suggested to be implicated in the actions of neuroprotection and neurotransmiting. |
| Description | A DNA sequence encoding the mouse CNDP1 (Q8BUG2) (Met 1-Tyr 492) was expressed, with an N-terminal signal peptide and a C-terminal His tag. |
| Source | HEK293 |
| Predicted N Terminal | Met 1 |
| AA Sequence | Met 1-Tyr 492 |
| Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant mouse CNDP1 comprises 503 a.a. and has a calculated molecular mass of 56.5 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 55 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
| Purity | >93% 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 carnosine (β-Ala-L-His)in a two-step assay.The specific activity is > 250 pmoles/min/ug. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
| 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. |
