INTRODUCTION
SHMT1 is a member of the SHMT family. SHMT1 is the cellular form of serine hydroxymethyltransferase, a pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme which catalyzes the reversible conversion of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5 10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. In addition, SHMT1 specifically provides one-carbon units for thymidylate biosynthesis, reduces methylenetetrahydrofolate pools for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthesis by synthesizing serine, sequesters 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and inhibits SAM synthesis.
DESCRIPTION
SHMT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 503 amino acids (1-483 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 55.2kDa.
SHMT1 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
