IVD Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. IVD Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 415 amino acids (33-426 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 45.3 kDa. The IVD is fused to a 20 amino acid his tag at N-terminus and purified by conventional chromatography. IVD is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that is part of the cyl-CoA dehydrogenase family which catalyzes the third step in leucine catabolism. The genetic deficiency of IVD leads to a buildup of isovaleric acid, which is toxic to the central nervous system and results in isovaleric acidemia. IVD is a homotetrameric flavoenzyme which catalyzes the conversion of isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA.
