FN3K Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. FN3K Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 332 amino acids (1-309 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 37kDa.FN3K is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Fructosamine 3 Kinase (FN3K) catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructosamines which may result in deglycation, the non-enzymatic reaction of glucose with primary amines followed by Amadori re-arrangement. Phosphorylation of fructosamines instigates metabolism of the modified amine and brings about the de-glycation of fructoselysine and of glycated proteins. A high concentration of glucose may affect non-enzymatic oxidation of proteins by reaction of glucose and lysine residues (glycation) . Fructosamines, the proteins altered in this way, are less active or functional.
