Recombinant Human Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate Isomerase 2//IPPI2/IDI2 (N-6His)

Source: E.coli. MW :28.9kD. Recombinant Human IPP Isomerase 2 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Val227 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate Isomerase 2 (IDI2) belongs to the IPP isomerase type 1 family. Both isozymes, IDI1 and IDI2 are localized to the peroxisome by a PTS1-dependent pathway. IDI2 is expressed in skeletal muscle, which contains one nudix hydrolase domain. IDI2 binds one magnesium per subunit. IDI2 catalyzes the 1,3-allylic rearrangement of the homoallylic substrate isopentenyl (IPP) to its highly electrophilic allylic isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) . It is reported that IDI2 is regulated independently from IDI1, by a mechanism that may involve PPAR-a.
