ALKBH2

SYNONYMS
Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 2, Alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 2, Oxy DC1, ALKBH2, ABH2, FLJ99103, MGC90512.

INTRODUCTION
ALKBH2 is a member of the ALKB family.ALKBH2 is expressed in the heart, colon, liver, testis, ovary, prostate and the small intestine. ALKBH2 uses iron as a cofactor and acts as a dioxygenase which catalyzes the repair of alkylated DNA and RNA containing 1-methyladenine and 3-meth-ylcytosine. ALKBH2 is functionally activated by ascorbate and requires oxygen and ?-ketoglutarate for enzymatic activity.

DESCRIPTION
ALKBH2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 281 amino acids (1-261 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 31.4kDa.
ALKBH2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
