Recombinant human Aldo-keto Reductase 1C4/AKR1C4 protein

AKR1C4 belongs to aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. It catalyzes the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. This enzyme catalyzes the bioreduction of chlordecone, a toxic organochlorine pesticide, to chlordecone alcohol in liver. Recombinant human AKR1C4 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
