Recombinant human MAT1A protein
MAT1A catalyzes the formation of S-adenosyltransferase (AdoMet) for methionine catabolism in the liver. MAT1A expression also correlates with a differentiated phenotype, whereas liver cells expressing MAT2A present a dedifferentiated phenotype and lowered AdoMet synthesis. Likewise, NFkappaB and TNFalpha cause a switch from MAT1A to MAT2A expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which facilitates cancer cell growth. Recombinant human MAT1A protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
