FN3KRP Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. FN3KRP 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 36.8kDa.FN3KRP is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Ketosamine-3-kinase (FN3KRP) catalyzes the phosphorylation of psicosamines and ribulosamines compared to the adjacent gene which encodes a highly analogous enzyme, fructosamine-3-kinase that has different substrate specificity. The activity of both enzymes may cause deglycation of proteins to reinstate their function. A high concentration of glucose can result in non-enzymatic oxidation of proteins by reaction of glucose and lysine residues (glycation) . The proteins altered in this way, are less active or functional.
