Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 20% glycerol, 0.5M NaCl. HAO1, also known as glycolate oxidase, is a member of the superfamily of the alpha hydroxy acid oxidases(HAO) enzymes. It catalyzes the FMN mediated oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate and glyoxylate to oxalate with reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. It is most highly expressed in liver and pancreas and is most active on twocarbon substrates such as glycolate. Recently, it has been identified as a major contributor to hyperoxaluria, a disorder in which large deposits of calcium oxalate form kidney stones. Recombinant human HAO1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
