Recombinant mouse Adenosylhomocysteinase/AHCY protein

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

Ahcy, also known as Adenosylhomocysteinase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of S-sdenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) to adenosine (Ado) and L-homocysteine (Hcy). AdoHcy hydrolysis is a reversible reaction with an equilibrium favoring AdoHcy formation, but hydrolysis prevails under physiological conditions due to the rapid removal of adenosine and homocysteine. Thus, AHCY s activity in mammals is directly related to homocysteine level, an independent risk factor for vascular disease. It also functions as a regulator of biological transmethylation by controlling the concentration of AdoHcy, a potent competitive inhibitor of all S-adenosyl-L-methionine methyltransferases. Recombinant mouse Ahcy, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
