Recombinant human EPXH1 protein

EPHX1, also known as epoxide hydrolase 1, is an important bioconversion enzyme that converts epoxides from degradation of aromatics into trans-dihydrodiols that can be conjugated and excreted in the body. The epoxide hydrolase acts both in the activation and decryption of the epoxide. This enzyme plays a role in regulating the extensive oxidation state of heterologous and lipid-derived substrates. Mutations in this gene cause preeclampsia, lack of epoxidase, or increased epoxide hydrolase activity. Recombinant human EPHX1, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
