C12ORF5

SYNONYMS
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase TIGAR, TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator, TIGAR, C12orf5.

INTRODUCTION
TIGAR is a p53-inducible enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-2-6 bisphosphate (F-2-6-BP) to fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. F-2-6-BP is an influential activator of 6-phosphofructose-1 kinase (the rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis). By lowering the intracellular level of F-2-6-BP, TIGAR expression leads to increased glucose processing through the pentose phosphate pathway, the main cellular source for NADPH. 

DESCRIPTION
TIGAR Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 270 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 30.1kDa. The TIGAR is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
