Purity: > 90% by SDS - PAGE Format: Liquid. In 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol, 0.1M NaCl. Aspartoacylase 3, also known as ACY3, is member of the Aspartoacylase subfamily. It plays an important role in deacetylating mercapturic acids in kidney proximal tubules. ACY3 localizes to the cytoplasm of S2 and S3 proximal tubules and to the apical domain of S1 proximal tubules. ACY3 protein is also expressed at low levels in stomach, testis, heart, brain, lung and liver, and may function as an HCV (Hepatitis C virus) core binding protein. Recombinant human ACY3 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
