ALKBH2, 1-261aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 2, also known ALKBH2, belongs to the ALKB family. Expressed in heart, colon, liver, testis, ovary, prostate and small intestine, ALKBH2 uses iron as a cofactor and functions as a dioxygenase that catalyzes the repair of alkylated DNA and RNA containing 1-methyladenine and 3-meth-ylcytosine. ALKBH2 is functionally activated by ascorbate and requires oxygen and alpha-ketoglutarate for enzymatic activity. Recombinant human ALKBH2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Can be stored at +4C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or -70C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
