SYNONYMS
Crystallin Mu, Thiomorpholine-Carboxylate Dehydrogenase, THBP, NADP-Regulated Thyroid-Hormone Binding Protein, NADP-Regulated Thyroid-Hormone-Binding Protein, Mu-Crystallin Homolog, EC 1.5.1.25, DFNA40, CRYM.
INTRODUCTION
Crystallin, Mu (CRYM) is a taxon-specific crystallin protein which binds NADPH and has sequence similarity to bacterial ornithine cyclodeaminases. CRYM doesn’t perform a structural role in lens tissue; instead CRYM binds thyroid hormone for possible regulatory or developmental roles. CRYM gene mutations are linked with autosomal dominant non-syndromic deafness. CRYM specifically catalyzes the reduction of imine bonds in brain substrates which may include cystathionine ketamine and lanthionine ketamine.
DESCRIPTION
CRYM Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Ser2-Lys314) containing 322 amino acids including a 9 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 34.8kDa.
