INTRODUCTION
NUDT5 is part of the nudix hydrolase family which remove toxic nucleotide derivatives from the cell. NUDT5 hydrolyzes ADP-ribose and ADP-mannose in the presence of magnesium, and in addition hydrolyzes nucleotide sugars with decreasing activity such as ADP-glucose and diadenosine diphosphate. As a nudix hydrolase, NUDT5 holds a central nudix motif and functions to eliminate toxic nucleotide metabolites from the cell while maintaining the levels of signaling nucleotides.
NUDT5 is broadly expressed but is most abundant in liver as a homodimer.
DESCRIPTION
NUDT5 Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 239 amino acids (1-219 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 26.5 kDa. The NUDT5 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
