Introduction
NIT2 is a member of the nitrilase superfamily. NIT2 protein has an omega-amidase activity which removes potentially toxic intermediates by converting alpha-ketoglutaramate and alpha-ketosuccinamate to biologically useful alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively. In addition, Nit2 is widely distributed in nature and is thought to be a tumor suppressor protein.
Description
NIT2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 299 amino acids (1-276a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 33kDa.
NIT2 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
