Recombinant human ALKBH2 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.

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.
