TIGAR-TAT Human Active Protein

TIGAR is a p53-inducible enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-2-6 bisphosphate (F-2-6-BP) to fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. F-2-6-BP is a powerful activator of 6-phosphofructose-1 kinase, the rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis. By lowering the intracellular level of F-2-6-BP, TIGAR expression leads to increased glucose processing via the pentose phosphate pathway, the major cellular source for NADPH. Protein transduction using TAT fusion proteins represents an alternative methodology for introducing transcription factors and other intracellular proteins into primary as well as transformed cells. Recombinant human TIGAR-TAT expressed in E Coli is a 31.6 kDa protein containing 283 amino-acid residues, including the 269 residues of full-length TIGAR fused to a 14-residue C-terminal peptide containing the TAT transduction domain (GGGYGRKKRRQRRR).

Small volumes of TIGAR-TAT active 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.

MBS696009 is an active protein targeting TIGAR-TAT. Also known as Human TIGAR-TAT. Reactive in Species Reactivity: Human. Host: E Coli.
