Recombinant human GMP synthase/GMPS 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.

GMP synthase, also known as GMPS, is involved in purine biosynthesis. Existing as a homodimer, GMPS catalyzes the last step in the GMP synthesis pathway, namely the ATP-dependent amination of XMP to GMP. GMPS contains one GMP-binding domain and one glutamine amidotransferase type-1 domain through which it conveys its catalytic activity. Chromosomal translocations involving the gene encoding GMPS are associated with acute myeloid leukemias, suggesting a possible role for GMPS in carcinogenesis. Recombinant human GMPS protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
