Gamma Hydroxybutyrate Coa Transferase Recombinant Protein

Clostridium aminobutyricum ferments 4-aminobutyrate to acetate and butyrate. One of the enzymes which catalyses this inter conversion of the intermediates is Gamma Hydroxybutyrate CoA Transferase. The amino acid sequence of the enzyme shows close relationships to proteins from the genomes of Clostridium difficile and Porphyromonas ginivalis. Characterisation of this enzyme from Clostridium aminobutyricum has shown it to be largely membrane bound, stable in anaerobic conditions. Recombinant Gamma Hydroxybutyrate CoA Transferase comprises a 438 amino acid fragment (1-438) corresponding to the mature Gamma Hydroxybutyrate CoA Transferase protein and is expressed in E Coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. This product is not intended for therapeutic use.

Small volumes of Gamma Hydroxybutyrate CoA Transferase recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
