tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis (FLAG, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P702096
Data Sheet Handling Instructions Technical Support

TDC protein plays a key role in amino acid metabolism by catalyzing the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine, a process that has been confirmed in multiple studies. Interestingly, tdc exhibits specificity in that it cannot utilize other aromatic L-amino acids, such as L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-glutamic acid, as substrates. tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis (FLAG, His) is the recombinant tdc protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-Flag labeled tag. The total length of tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis (FLAG, His) is 626 a.a., .

Description

TDC protein plays a key role in amino acid metabolism by catalyzing the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine, a process that has been confirmed in multiple studies. Interestingly, tdc exhibits specificity in that it cannot utilize other aromatic L-amino acids, such as L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-glutamic acid, as substrates. tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis (FLAG, His) is the recombinant tdc protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, N-Flag labeled tag. The total length of tdc Protein, Levilactobacillus brevis (FLAG, His) is 626 a.a., .

Background

The tdc protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine. This enzymatic activity is crucial for the conversion of tyrosine into tyramine, a process that contributes to the biosynthesis of various biologically active amines. Importantly, tdc exhibits specificity towards L-tyrosine and cannot utilize other aromatic L-amino acids such as L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, and L-glutamate as substrates. Notably, tdc can also decarboxylate levodopa (L-dopa), a medication used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, to produce dopamine in vitro. This broader substrate specificity suggests potential implications for tdc in neurotransmitter synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the context of Parkinson's disease therapy.

Help & FAQs
  • How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

    1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss. 2. Taking 10 μg as an example, first add 20 μL of reconstituted solution provided by MCE and use a pipette to gently resuspend the lyophilized protein until it is fully dissolved.. (For most proteins, the reconstitution solution we provide is sterile water. If a diluent other than water is required, it will be indicated in the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA).). 3. Add an additional 80 μL of buffer/culture medium containing carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% trehalose), and then use a pipette to gently mix until uniform. The final concentration is should not be lower than 100 μg/mL. 4. Aliquot at least 20 μL per tube. 5. After aliquoting, store it frozen at a temperature ranging from -20ºC to -80ºC, and it can be preserved for 3 to 6 months.

  • How should solution-form recombinant proteins be stored?

    1. The product can be stored in its original form and diluted as needed upon use. 2. Alternatively, dilute with a buffer/culture medium containing a carrier protein (either 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS, or 5% alginate), mix well by pipetting, and ensure that

  • Why is it necessary to add carrier proteins?

    Carrier proteins are commonly added to enhance the stability of recombinant proteins, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the container during freezing or thawing processes. Plastic tubes have a certain adsorptive capacity for proteins, which may lead to difficulty in separating the protein from the tube walls, resulting in a decrease in the actual concentration of the protein in the solution and thus affecting its activity. To minimize such losses, it is recommended to add a commonly used carrier protein solution prior to the long-term storage of recombinant protein products.

  • Carrier protein types and options?

    In cases where the carrier protein is not expected to influence the experimental outcomes, an appropriate carrier protein, such as 0.1% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin), 5% HSA (Human Serum Albumin), 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum), or 5% trehalose, can be incorpo

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
