PSPH Protein, Human, Recombinant

• Background :

  Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) belongs to a subfamily of the phosphotransferases. PSPH is the rate-limiting enzyme in l-serine biosynthesis. It has previously been found that Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) plays a role in epidermal homeostasis. Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphoserine to serine. Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) expression has been examined in human-mouse somatic cell hybrids retaining different combination of human chromosomes. Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) is expressed throughout the proliferative layer of the epidermis and hair follicles in rodent and human skin and is highly induced in SCC. In keratinocytes, Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) is a cytoplasmic protein that primarily localizes to endosomes and is present primarily as a homodimer. Knock down of Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) dramatically diminished SCC cell proliferation and cyclin D1 levels in the presence of exogenous of l-serine production suggesting a non-canonical role for Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) in epithelial carcinogenesis. Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) is highly induced in proliferative normal keratinocytes and skin tumors. Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) appears to be critical for the proliferation of SCC cells; however, this phenomenon may not involve the phosphoserine metabolic pathway.

  Please contact us for more information.

• Purity :

  > 84 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.

• Activity :

  At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

• Form :

  Lyophilized

• Buffer :

  Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.5 Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

• Function :

  Enzyme Proteins

• Molecular Weight :

  The recombinant human PSPH consists of 225 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 25KD. It migrates as an approximately 28KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

• Storage Conditions :

  In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
