Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 20% glycerol. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a catalytic enzyme commonly known to be involved in glycolysis. The enzyme exists as a tetramer composed of 36-kDa subunits and has various intracellular functions. GAPDH catalyzes the reversible reduction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphophate in the presence of NADPH. Besides functioning as a glycolytic enzyme in cytoplasm, evidence suggests that mammalian GAPDH is also involved in a great number of intracellular processes such as membrane fusion, microtubule bundling, phosphotransferase activity, nuclear RNA export, DNA replication and DNA repair. Recombinant GAPDH protein was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
