This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-55681. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Kynurenine aminotransferases KAT I, KAT II, and KAT III belong to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. KAT I is a cytoplasmic protein involved in glutamine catabolism. KAT I functions in the catalysis of the transamination of L-kinurenine to form kynurenic acid, a neuroprotective and anticonvulsant metabolite of tryptophan. Kynurenic acid is involved in synaptic transmission and has been implicated in a number of neurological disorders including schizophrenia and Huntington's disease. KAT I also functions in the metabolism of cysteine conjugates in some halogenated alkenes and alkanes to form reactive metabolites. KAT I has three isoforms. Isoform 1is the full length protein, isoform 2 lacks amino acids 68-117 and isoform 3 lacks amino acids 251-422. Based on sequence similarity, KAT I is thought to function as a homodimer.
