Introduction
UNG is a member of the Uracil-DNA glycosylase family. One of his functions is to prevent
mutagenesis by eliminating uracil from DNA molecules by cleaving the N-glycosylic bond and
initiating the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Uracil bases are formed as a result of cytosine
deamination or misincorporation of dUMP residues. After a mutation is formed,
the mutagenic threat
of uracil propagates through any subsequent DNA replication steps. Among the diseases associated with UNG are: congenital rubella,
and immunodeficiency with hyper igm type 4.
Description
UNG E.Coli Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 252 amino acids (1-229 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28.1kDa.
UNG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Formulation
UNG protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl
buffer (pH8.0) and 10% glycerol.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
