Purity: > 85% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid, In Phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) containing 10% glycerol, 1mM DTT . PNPT1 also known as polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase 1. This enzyme is predominantly localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and is involved in import of RNA to mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-13 and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness-70. Related pseudogenes are found on chromosomes 3 and 7. Recombinant human PNPT1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
