INTRODUCTION
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase quinone (DHODH) is a member of the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase family. DHODH is a mitochondrial protein found on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane. DHODH catalyzes the 4th enzymatic step, the ubiquinone-mediated oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate (with quinone as electron acceptor), in de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. DHODH gene defects cause the postaxial acrofacial dysostosis (POADS), also known as Miller syndrome.
DESCRIPTION
DHODH Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 390 amino acids (31-395) and having a molecular mass of 42.3 kDa.
DHODH is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
