NQO2 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. NQO2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 251amino acids (1-231 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 28.1 kDa. NQO2 protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by standard chromatography. NQO2 is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the 2-electron reduction of diverse quinones, redox dyes, and the vitamin K menadione. NQO2 mainly uses dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) as the electron donor. NQO2 catalyzes the metabolic detoxification of quinones and their derivatives to hydroquinones. This detoxification process protects cells against quinone-induced oxidative stress, cytotoxicity and mutagenicity.
