Description
Description: NMRAL1 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 323 amino acids (1-299) and having a molecular mass of 35.9 kDa.NMRAL1 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: NMRAL1 is a redox sensor protein which goes through reformation and subcellular rearrangement in reaction to alterations in intracellular NADPH/NADP+ levels. When the NADPH concentration is low the protein is found mostly as a monomer, and binds argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1), which takes part in nitric oxide synthesis. Association with ASS1 defects NMRAL1 activity and diminishes the production of nitric oxide, which then inhibits apoptosis. When the NADPH concentration is normal, the protein is found as a dimer and hides the binding site for ASS1
