concentration :
1 mg/ml (determined by Bradford assay)
storage stability :
Can be stored at 4 degree C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degree C or -70 degree C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
tested application :
SDS-PAGE
other info1 :
Antigen Species: Human. Tag: His-tag
other info2 :
Expression System: E Coli. Bioactivity: Specific activity is 1.5 - 2.5 units/ml and was obtained by measuring the oxidation of NADPH in absorbance at 340 nm during reaction. One unit will convert 1.0 umole of 7,8 dihydrofolate and beta-NADPH to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate and beta-NADP per minute at pH 6.5 at 25C. Assay: 1. Prepare a 3.2 ml reaction mixture into a suitable container: The final concentrations are 50 mM potassium phosphate, 0.72 mM DHFA, 0.1mM beta-NADPH, 0.003% (w/v) BSA. 2. Equilibrate to 25C and monitor at A340nm until the value is constant using a spectrophotometer. 3. Add 2.5ug of recombinant DHFR into reaction mixture and mix immediately. 4. Record the increase at A340nm for 2 minutes

products description :
DHFR, also known as Dihydrofolate reductase, is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, using NADPH as electron donor, which can be converted to the kinds of tetrahydrofolate cofactors used in 1-carbon transfer chemistry. Dihydrofolate reductase deficiency has been linked to megaloblastic anemia. Recombinant Dihydrofolate reductase protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
Dihydrofolate reductase converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate, a methyl group shuttle required for the de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid, and certain amino acids. While the functional dihydrofolate reductase gene has been mapped to chromosome 5, multiple intronless processed pseudogenes or dihydrofolate reductase-like genes have been identified on separate chromosomes. Dihydrofolate reductase deficiency has been linked to megaloblastic anemia. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
