Purity: > 95% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0) containing 0.2M NaCl, 2mM DTT, 10% glycerol. PHPT1 is a 125 amino acid enzyme belonging to the Janus protein family. Existing as a monomer in the cytoplasm, PHPT1 is an EDTA-insensitive phosphohistidine phosphatase. Overexpression of PHPT1 leads to specific phosphohistidine phosphatase activity towards phosphopeptide I, with no activity detected towards phosphotyrosine, phosphothreonine and phosphoserine peptides. Recombinant human PHPT1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
