Catalyzes the hydration of oleate at its cis-9-double bond to yield 10-hydroxyoctadecanoate. Cannot catalyze the reverse reaction. Is not active with saturated fatty acids and trans-, cis-5-, cis-6-, cis-8-, cis-11-, cis-13-, cis-14-, and cis-15-double bond unsaturated fatty acids as substrate; is only active on cis-9- and/or cis-12-double bond of unsaturated fatty acids without any trans-configurations, producing 10-hydroxy and 10,13-dihydroxy fatty acids. The hydration of unsaturated fatty acids is suggested to be a detoxification mechanism and a survival strategy for living in fatty acid-rich environments.

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
