Introduction
DAAO is a peroxisomal enzyme which uses FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) as a cofactor and oxidizes D-amino acids to the corresponding amino acids, producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. DAAO substrates include an extensive array of D-amino acids, but it is inactive on the naturally occurring L-amino acids. DAAO acts on a variety of D-amino acids especially on those having small hydrophobic side chains followed by those bearing polar, aromatic, and basic groups; however it doesn’t act on acidic amino acids. DAAO may be involved in acid base balance in the kidney or it could act as a detoxifying agent which removes D-amino acids accumulated during aging. DAAO regulates the neuromodulator D-serine level in the brain. DAAO is highly active towards D-DOPA. Creatinine inhibits the DAAO in uremia. DAAO may also have a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, but not in bipolar disorder.
Description
DAAO Human Recombinant fused with a20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 367 amino acids (1-347 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 41.6kDa.The DAAO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
The DAAO solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 20% glycerol and 1mM DTT.
