Recombinant Human Dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 4 (DHRS4), partial

NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase; NADPH-dependent retinol dehydrogenase/reductase; Peroxisomal short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase; SCAD-SRL; Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 25C member 2; Short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family member 4

NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase which catalyzes the reduction of a variety of compounds bearing carbonyl groups including ketosteroids, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds, aldehydes, aromatic ketones and quinones. Reduces 3-ketosteroids and benzil into 3beta-hydroxysteroids and R-benzoin, respectively, in contrast to the stereoselectivity of non-primate DHRS4s which produce 3alpha-hydroxysteroids and S-benzoin. Diplays low activity toward all-trans-retinal and no activity toward 9-cis-retinal as compared to non-primate mammals. In the reverse reaction, catalyze the NAD-dependent oxidation of 3beta-hydroxysteroids and alcohol, but with much lower efficiency. Involved in the metabolism of 3beta-hydroxysteroids, isatin and xenobiotic carbonyl compounds

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.
