SYNONYMS
Lactoylglutathione lyase, Aldoketomutase, Glyoxalase I, Glx I, Ketone-aldehyde mutase, Methylglyoxalase, S-D-lactoylglutathione methylglyoxal lyase.
INTRODUCTION
GLO1 is involved in the catalysis and formation of S-lactoyl-glutathione from methylglyoxal condensation and reduced glutatione. GLO1 is linked to HLA and is localized to 6p21.3-p21.1, between HLA and the centromere. GLO1 enzyme is ubundantly expressed and present in numerous tumor cell lines, in which its concentration is often upregulated ubiquitisly. GLO1 is a major susceptible gene for autism in an ethnic Chinese population from Taiwan. GLO1 might be involved in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. GLO1 plays a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. Overexpression of GLO1 is associated with kidney tumor.
DESCRIPTION
GLO1 Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 192 amino acids (1-184a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 21.8kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa).GLO1 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
