PNPO

SYNONYMS
Pyridoxine-5'-phosphate oxidase, Pyridoxamine-phosphate oxidase, PNPO, PDXPO, FLJ10535.

INTRODUCTION
Pyridoxine-5'-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) is the rate-limiting enzyme in vitamin B6 synthesis. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5-prime-phosphate or PLP) is vital for normal cellular function, and some cancer cells have notable differences in vitamin B6 metabolism compared to their normal counterparts.Vitamin B6 is an essential co-factor for enzymes involved in both homocysteine metabolism and synthesis of neurotransmitters such as catecholamine. Mutations in the PNPO gene result in PNPO deficiency, a form of neonatal epileptic encephalopathy.

DESCRIPTION
PNPO Human Recombinant fused with a 21 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids (57-261 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25.9kDa. The PNPO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
