Note: We will prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. If you require a specific format, please specify this in your order notes, and we will fulfill your request to the best of our ability.
Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchase method and location. Please contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.
Note: All proteins are shipped on standard blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping is available upon request, but will incur additional charges. Please contact us in advance to arrange this.
Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, and this may serve as a helpful reference.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and the inherent stability of the protein. Generally, liquid formulations have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized formulations have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Tag Info
Tag type will be determined during manufacturing.
The tag type is determined during production. If you require a specific tag, please inform us, and we will prioritize its inclusion.

Target Background

Function

This bifunctional enzyme catalyzes two reactions: the dehydration of methylthioribulose-1-phosphate (MTRu-1-P) to 2,3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate (DK-MTP-1-P), and the dephosphorylation of 2-hydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentenyl-1-phosphate (HK-MTPenyl-1-P) to 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene (DHK-MTPene).
