PPME1, 1-386aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

PPME1, also known protein phosphatase methylesterase-1(PME1), catalyzes the demethylation and inactivation of protein phosphatase (PP2A), which is a multimeric phosphoserine/ threonine protein phosphatase associated with growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest. It can demethylate PP2A catalytic subunit in vitro and okadaic acid treatment is capable of inhibiting this reaction. It is conserved from yeast to human and contains a motif found in lipases having a catalytic triad activated serine as their active site nucleophile. Recombinant human PPME1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.

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.
