OAZ1, 1-228aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 1, also known as OAZ1, belongs to the ODC antizyme family. It expression is auto-regulated by polyamine-enhanced translational frameshifting. OAZ1 negatively regulates polyamine synthesis by enhancing the negative feedback loop controlling ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. The OAZ1 encoded by this gene inhibits ornithine decarboxylase and accelerates its degradation. Recombinant human OAZ1 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.
